      The Adwaita team, and a bunch of devs that make Adwaita apps explicitly said that theming their apps is fine, they simply asked for users who theme their apps not to submit bug reports that are actually just theming issues.

      There’s nothing worse than spending hours and hours trying to replicate or resolve a bug, only to find out it’s because the user installed an anime girl theme that’s caused some issue.

      Those devs were completely right to put out that request, and I think it’s wrong that they received a lot of hate for it.

      They are open source devs, donating their time to give you software for free. Is it really that bad they politely ask not to receive time-wasting bug reports for things that they never broke in the first place?

        You are not exactly correct:

        Source https://stopthemingmy.app/

        If you are a distribution who changes the system stylesheet and icons, please reconsider this decision.

        This is an attack on Linux mint and Garuda to ask them to not theme their apps.

        On top of that Adwaita has not been very well supported in kde via flatpak, thanks to the exclusionary nature of gnome devs
