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.

Some apps automatically pick up your theme some don't. For these I give the specific app access to my theme folder with a :ro at the end of the path.
IDEs should work ootb. If some extension doesn't work, maybe it's because of poor support for Flatpak. 9/10 times you'll find the issue is that app is calling the traditional /usr/bin path etc. when Flatpak installations use different paths.
