I like budgie

I don’t know what it is, and neither the article nor the Budgie website seem keen on explaining it.

optissima@lemmy.world on 29 Jan 2024 01:56 next collapse

Its a Desktop Environment

tsonfeir@lemm.ee on 29 Jan 2024 02:08 next collapse

Also a distro!

BradleyUffner@lemmy.world on 29 Jan 2024 02:13 next collapse

And this is why I’m confused.

SatyrSack@lemmy.one on 29 Jan 2024 04:01 collapse

Is it? That’s not listed as an option here alongside Endravour, Fedora, etc.

So it’s the equivalent of KDE or Gnome?

There is a link to the project in the first sentence.

BradleyUffner@lemmy.world on 29 Jan 2024 02:12 collapse

That is correct, but it doesn’t explain what Budgie is.

tsonfeir@lemm.ee on 29 Jan 2024 02:49 collapse

Their website explains everything. Do you… use Linux?

Maybe this would help:

Budgie 10.9 Desktop

Patch@feddit.uk on 29 Jan 2024 20:11 collapse

Literally the first paragraph:

The Budgie desktop team announced today the release and general availability of Budgie 10.9 as the latest version of this modern desktop environment for GNU/Linux distributions.

If you need more than “modern desktop environment for GNU/Linux distributions” to figure out what the project is, then you’re probably not the target audience for 9to5Linux.

If you tried it a few years ago, then we have tried different products. Try it again and we can compare.

I like its simplicity, and how light weight it is. It can be customized pretty well—I like all my stuff on top. I also like that it’s a smaller group of people that are pretty focused on improvements and less about politics. They release updates frequently, and listen to user requests. It’s worked out of the box on whatever I put it on, unlike some other distros (note: I use the distro, not just the DE)

I’m curious what you dislike about it?

You should try 10.8, slap Ubuntubudgie.org on a usb and give it a shot. Or way a month or so for 10.9 which supports Wayland. They have a lot of what you mentioned now.

What do you use atm?

I really like Budgie, but I can’t use it without panels for each monitor. Version 11 can’t come soon enough.

I’m a KDE user, but had a great experience using Budgie. I’m glad this software is an option for people.
