From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's hilarious how, despite KDE apps being broken on every DE that isn't plasma, people will still find a way to blame Gnome for it.
Contrarily to KDE, Gnome has managed to make sure that libadwaita apps look and work just like they're supposed to and how its shown on the screenshot in the app store. You might not like the theme, but at least you knew what to expect before downloading, whatever distro you are on.
It's great that KDE finally managed to fix their app so that they come with everything it need to function properly. People might be able to use them now on other DEs.
