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.

Flatpak GTK apps not follwing the chosen GTK theme. (lemm.ee)

Hello. I'm using Debian testing with KDE Plasma 5.27. I'm experiencing a problem where GTK Flatpaks are not following the chosen GTK theme despite giving them permissions to access .themes and .icons folders found in the home directory. I tried the running the following commands in the terminal:

flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0:ro flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0:ro

I even tried to specify a certain GTK theme to be chosen, that resulted in the flatpak changing to an ugly white-adwaita theme. I should note that this is happening exclusively with GTK Flatpaks, QT Flatpaks and GTK deb packages don't seem to have this problem. What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

Old ass adwaita/libadwaita bug; happens on every distro... I'm really starting to think it is more related to libadwaita itself than to flatpak 😭
