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.

On GNOME you set the GTK theme using Tweaks or Refine (Tweaks is preinstalled most of the time but Refine is a newer replacement that's a lot nicer to use). Using one of these two will probably work on any other desktop or WM too.
IIRC I had to keep xsettingsd running in the background for my system GTK theme to be applied to Flatpak apps so maybe that's what you need?
