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.

DE independant but using libadawaita?

As far as I know only Gnome is actively using libadwaita. Sure it can run on any DE. And that's good.

I'm new to linux DE stuff but I think I have adwaita things on Nobara (Fedora) with KDE. 🤷‍♀️

Well yeah, LibAdwaita is the flagship implementation of GNOME's design guidelines.

Kinda weird to call it a Bluetooth client. The only Bluetooth clients would be the devices and even that is not entirely correct since Bluetooth doesn't follow a client/server model. I would rather call it a Bluetooth manager

it has to be enabled like a system service, so this is clearly a daemon.

[–] I_like_cats@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

So? NetworkManager is also a deamon. Still it is a manager

[–] kraniax@lemmy.wtf 3 points 1 year ago

DE independent but it requires GTK4 and libadwaita. Maybe just call it a GTK GUI for Bluetooth?
