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.

Why does the breeze theme have 50 dependencies? (lemm.ee)

(This is a half-rant half actual question)

I wanted a nice qt theme to use on Scribus since Arc Dark doesn't work on there. When I tried to install it, pacman said this will install 50 packages. 300 Mb in total.

Why does a theme need packages such as Kauth and Kwallet?

When you're not telling us which package you're trying to install in which packaging system, the only meaningful answer is: you're trying to install the wrong package.

Sorry. I'm using pacman (default in Arch Linux) and I'm trying to install the breeze qt theme package, breeze.

Really, an Arch user who didn't mention that they're using Arch, there's certainly a meme hiding here somewhere!
