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.

Will an app dependent on libadwaita that be usable on linux without gnome? Like xfce, or xmonad?

of course it will, that's not the point, the point is to make apps that use libadwaita look consistent even in platforms outside of GNOME

Ok, I thought the article was saying libadwaita was to add special features and styles for use in gnome specific apps.

Don't worry, this article is mainly to clear some misunderstanding about libadwaita anyway, having questions about it is natural
