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.

This is bad though, what about all the people who have a really difficult time seeing with dark themes and thus would find it difficult to change it?

Really they should have asked people what they want on startup or some such, not make decisions for them.

Personally, I'm a fan of apps that use your system theme automatically so they don't even need to ask you.

Yes, this is a good solution too.

If they're going to insist on a 'default' though, they shouldn't and should ask instead.
