Comment on Ask HN: What is the equivalent to Win32 on Linux

Comments

If I understand what you're looking for, GTK. If it's a linux desktop, there's a super high chance that GTK is both installed and familiar to the user.

Even on Windows, there's a long history of apps wanting to feel "unique". That's what they want: full customization to fit their branding.
