Description
Currently we do not support GTK4 for our Linux builds.
I haven't tried building manually, but it looks like the cmake files indicate gtk3
I'm on Debian Trixie which is gtk4.I'm not sure what distros like Rocky 9 use? But if they also provide gnome desktop in the 40+ range we should look into upping the gtk requirement.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the CMake files that currently indicate GTK3 and trace how Linux desktop dependencies are selected. Determine the changes needed for GTK4 support, then verify that Linux builds work on a GTK4-based GNOME system and that existing supported builds remain functional.
