There are a lot of third-party Linux apps built with GTK4/Libadwaita. If you just to to https://flathub.org and click on random apps a lot of them will use GTK.

I would recommend taking a look at Flatpak

flathub flatpak format apps/games for linux desktop, does not require any specific linux distribution just that flatpak is present on the system.

Which X clients are these? You didn't name any so let's just look at some of the popular and recent flathub apps: https://flathub.org/

I see a lot of games, chat apps, text editors, photo apps, office apps. These all will work fine in XWayland and XQuartz. But also, it's relatively easy to get them running on Wayland natively.

If you're worried about the potential of breaking things, I'd pick the Fedora Kinoite distro. Up to date gaming support, stable and extremely difficult to break. Install apps from Flathub using the built-in Discover software store and go nuts.

You can go on flathub.org to found many other apps you wish to install.

8. Go to https://flathub.org/ and install other useful software.

9. Install an office suite (for example, https://www.freeoffice.com/en/)

For games, Lutris and Steam are your friends.

A lot of well-known Docker alternatives emerged at this point, the most commonly recommended of which must be Podman (along with Podman Desktop). This is what I use on my Windows machines, and this was the first solution that I tried on the Macbook as well.

Example of why: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/5102#issuecommen...

Podman

Even though we will focus on Docker for this article, I wanted to mention that there are more container creation and management tools such as Podman, Rkt, and so on.

By using containerization, the application will always have the same configuration that is used in the development environment and production environment. There is no more "It works on my machine". Some examples of containerization technologies are Docker and Podman.

Podman Documentation. Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers on your Linux System.

AFAIK podman either already supports pods in quadlet container files, or will in the near future. https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/20762

Podman as a devcontainers engine doesn't currently work if you use devcontainer features [1] or (and this sounds like you're issue) if you use WSL2.

I haven't submitted the WSL2 issue to the Podman team yet. If you get to it before I do, can you like it here?

You can also use their Oracle Linux Docker images with the database preinstalled using either Podman or Docker. Just make absolutely sure you are downloading something you are licensed to use, because it seems really easy to accidentally infringe copyright via this method.
