Joshua Strobl, Key Desktop Developer Budgie, announced About Where from Managing Council (Core Team) of the Solus project Removing the powers of the leader responsible for interaction with the developers and the development of the user interface (EXPERIENCE LEAD). Beatris Myers ( Beatrice / Bryan Meyers ), which is responsible for the technical part of the Solus, assured that the development of the distribution will continue and in the near future will be announced a change in the structure of the project and restructuring the composition of the development team.
In turn, Joshua Grobl explained that intends to connect to the development of a new distribution Serpentos , on the development of which also switched the initial creator of the Solus project. Thus, the old Solus team is rodding around the SerpentOS project. Joshua also does not refuse plans to transfer the Budgie user environment with GTK to the EFL library and intends to devote the development of Budgie more time. Moreover, it plans to create a separate organization to oversee the development of the User Environment of Budgie and attract community representatives interested in Budgie, for example, Distributions Ubuntu Budgie and Endeavour OS.
The cause of Joshua’s care calls the conflict, formed against the background of attempts to voice and solve problems that prevent the promotion of changes in Solus from both direct project participants and interested parties from the community. Joshua does not reveal to conflict, so as not to endure litter from the hut. It is mentioned, only the fact that all his attempts to change the situation and improve the work with the community rejected and no of the voiced problems were not solved.
Recall that Linux-distribution Solus is not based on packages of other distributions and adheres to a hybrid development model, in accordance with which significant issues are periodically produced, in which new technologies and significant improvements are offered, and in the interval between significant issues, the distribution is developing using Rolling-models of package update. Eopkg batch manager (PISI Form from Pardus Linux) is involved.
Desktop Budgie is based on GNOME technologies, but uses its own GNOME Shell shell implementation, panels, applets and notification output systems. To control windows in Budgie, the Budgie Window Manager (BWM) window is used, which is an extended modification of the MUTER base plug-in. The Budgie base is a panel close to the organization of work to the classic desktop paneling. All elements of the panel are applets, which allows you to flexibly set up the composition, change placement and replace the implementation of the main elements of the panel to your taste.
