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.

The best part about libadwaita id how easy it is to make good-looking apps.

I wish i could use gnome apps on android, they look so nice for phone use with the new widgets.

Gnome is designed to work on displays of different sizes. There is work being done on a mobile version of gnome

The gnome project has a separate project that is building a mobile interface. Its already usable for the most part

I agree, I really like the look of them. I just wish they would export the menu's with me being a Plasma boy.

The attention to detail in Libadwaita is pretty great

At long last, some theming support for Adwaita! I really missed being able to change colors, at the very least
