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.

quick question, is the look of the gtk3/4 theming final? Or is it still a work in progress
Are you interested in contributing? You can find the source code for theme generation here and here.
i absolutely would if i could, but i looked at the code and it is thoroughly incomprehensible to me.
I was just going to suggest what ways the gtk3/4 theme could look better:
make gtk3 and 4 match libatwaita, except for the colours. (easier to do because adw-gtk3 already exists)
make the applications match comic's styling closer.
also if the reason that they look that way is to ensure that every app looks right and that there is no breakage, that's understandable, this is just my 2c, feel free to ignore it
Did you not read the blog update? That is exactly what the blog update covered... The user's theme colors are applied to the Adwaita theme used by GTK4/libadwaita, and GTK3 theme support is provided by adw-gtk3.
alright, i remembered why i believed that the theme wasn't basic libadwaita, i thought that because the screenshot doesn't use colors the same way libadwaita does, which misled me, and because the blog doesnt specify how the apps are themed.
But more importantly how would i be able to contribute to the french translation
i did, i must have missed that, i may be stupid
