XFCE users looking around worriedly – can you please not mess with GTK? … please?

…

…

so … um, I’ve been hearing nice things about LXQT lately?
- This is Libadwaita not GTK3
  
  It's GTK4, libadwaita is just their really weird theming stuff, but the UI toolkit is still called GTK, and version 4 of it forces you to use libadwaita. You can't change the theme, because Gnome is actually user-hostile.
  
  You can use a different theme with GTK 4 (not that you would want to)
  
  *sigh*
