Joshua Strogoba ( joshua strobl ), key developer of the project Budgie, published the proposal for the beginning of the formation of official Spin-assembly by Fedora Linux with the user environment budgie . To accompany packages with Budgie and the formation of a new assembly, the group budgie sig is based. They plan to supply Spin editing Fedora with Budgie starting with the release of Fedora Linux 38. The proposal has not yet been considered by the FESCO committee (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), which is responsible for the technical part of the distribution of Fedora.
Initially, the Budgie environment was focused on the use of Solus in the Solus distribution, but then it was transformed into a project independent of the distributions, which additionally began to spread packages for Arch Linux and Ubuntu. The editors of Ubuntu Budgie received official status in 2016, but the use of BUDGIE in Fedora did not pay due attention and official packages for Fedora began to be supplied only from the release of Fedora 37. Budgie is based on GNOME technology and the GNOME SHELL shell (in the next BUDGIIE branch. They plan to separate the functionality of the desktop from a layer that ensures the visualization and withdrawal of information, which will allow us to abstract from specific graphic Tulkites and libraries, and implement full support of the Wayland protocol).
The window manager Budgie Window Manager (BWM), which is an extended modification of the base plug -in Mutter, is involved in the Budgie. The basis of Budgie is a panel close to organizing work to classic desktop panels. All the elements of the panel are applets, which allows you to flexibly configure the composition, change the placement and replace the implementation of the main elements of the panel to your taste. Among the accessible applets, the classic application menu, tasks switching system, area with open windows, viewing virtual desktops, power control indicator, volume control indicator, system status indicator and hours.
