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.

[Solved] New Ubuntu update just wiped out my enitre drive (lemm.ee)

I don't usually update, but today I opened Xubuntu and the update manager popped up, so I clicked to install - it was just a 13 MB update. After updating, I opened Floorp and started seeing that all my icons at the taskbar, everything, started disappearing. It's like I did "sudo rm -rf"! I'm not even mad. I always wanted to try EndeavourOS, and now Xubuntu has given me the opportunity to install it. Now downloading the EndeavourOS ISO and will install KDE on it. Enough rant/vent for now - REAL QUESTION: can anyone tell me how to theme GTK-based GNOME apps on KDE?

I'm confused... is your "entire drive" wiped or no?

No just /dev/sda2 partition Others are safe

You can select GTK themes under:

System Settings > Colors & Themes > Application Style > Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style

For Flatpaks you need to run

pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Support is limited tho.

Was Floorp installed as a flatpak? I once had my file system corrupted after installing or updating a flatpak browser.

Since you're on Endeavor, now, the Arch wiki is definitely your friend. Good luck! Hope you love it!
