Never heard of the underlying https://budgie-desktop.org/ https://budgie-desktop.org/ before. And could not learn anything about it on its website: No screenshots, no description about the framework (Qt? GTK?).
In former days of the lightweight but "full featured" desktops, there was Xfce desktop. Then there was LXDE. Which was surprisingly faster and similiar powerful then Xfce. But then I somehow lost track ;-)
- sccxy 9y agoFirst search result for "Ubuntu Budgie" is https://ubuntubudgie.org/ https://ubuntubudgie.org/ They have lots of screenshots & videos.
- type0 9y agoI think it's GTK, but since it's a Solus Linux project there was some talk that it would be moving to Qt soon. It reuses some chunks of GNOME 3 though. I like how it's seem to be a good alternative to Cinnamon desktop env., probably doen't have as many features but should be easy to use for Linux newbies (which GNOME3 isn't).
- Redoubts 9y ago> When Budgie first started out way back in 2013, it had very very simple aims. It could quite easily sit on top of the GNOME 3.10 stack, and utilize all of the components with no issue. > As a result, Budgie 11, the next major release, will be built using Qt 5, C++, and Wayland. Using these technologies, we seek to provide a refined version of the experience you know and love, but with fluid, accelerated animations, a beautiful user interface, and full integration of Raven to be a first class component. https://budgie-desktop.org/about/ https://budgie-desktop.org/about/
- mnm1 9y agoCan one turn those animations off? They might be nice the first few hundred or even thousand times, but afterwards, they will be despised.
