One advice is to never use that cursed LibAdwaita adopted by GNOME apps, it locks the theming of the app to that ugly Adwaita, please us only pure GTK4 widgets. That library is hated on every Linux desktop.

Second this. libadwaita doesn't work well outside of the Gnome desktop. Switching to libadwaita would significantly reduce the potential user base for this application, essentially limiting it to the fraction of users who happen to use Gnome.
