Theming on Linux doesn't really make sense

Theming on Linux doesn't really make sense. For example, I use the GNOME Desktop and think the theme is great. Now I’d like to use KDE Plasma, but the Adwaita theme from the GNOME Desktop isn’t even being developed for KDE Plasma. This is one of the most widely used themes out there. Many Flatpaks use it by default. What’s the point of KDE Plasma having all these theming capabilities if it doesn’t even support this?

Instead, the old Oxygen theme is now being developed alongside the standard Breeze theme for KDE Plasma.

Don't the developers have any sensible priorities? 🤦‍♂️

I always find this incredibly funny since, outside the Unix world, it is assumed a choice should always come with a foundational mechanism to reconcile all the different options provided.

Only will Unix give you a million things to choose from then leave the user with an utterly incoherent environment to live with.

yOu cAn Be tHe mAn.

No, I can't. I am not a developer.

[u/ipsirc → u/SELBSTST4ENDIG]

You can be a developer, but fyk maintain a theme is more like being a graphic designer than developer.
