Budgie desktop #628

Open m5x opened 5 years ago

m5x commented 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Budgie is great Linux desktop that would be welcomed addition to Clear Linux by many.

Describe the solution you'd like Add Budgie desktop bundle as an alternative to currently available desktop offerings.

Describe alternatives you've considered Heavily customized Gnome could be an alternative but Budgie has most of such customizations already built-in, it's elegant, it's clean and it's a pleasure to work with.

Additional context Arjan has mentioned on IRC some months ago that they have already been pondering an idea to add Budgie in the hallways. Recently I've also seen somebody mention on reddit that Ikey, author of Budgie, is back on Intel Clear Linux team. With his help and knowledge maybe adding Budgie would not be too time consuming task?

This would fall into the category "other desktop environments" which is a volunteer effort. Nonetheless I wouldn't mind seeing this added, but it is a bit of work that will need to get done.

FWIW currently budgie-desktop does not support the current mutter version, so we can't even start this work until there is an upstream version that fixes that issue.

It looks like Gnome (and Mutter) 3.32 compatibility has recently been added by Ubuntu Budgie developers. Does it resolve the mutter-compatibility problem?

Any update on this?

No resources available to make something like this happen right now.

Specifically we're not currently ready to add more desktops than we already have; desktops are a lot of work and outside of the major ones (gnome/kde and maybe xfce) they tend to be almost unused entirely
