Its my pleasure to announce the release of the latest Budgie Desktop for both Debian and Ubuntu users.
The release is for:
Debian unstable
Debian Buster (will be sync’d next week)
Ubuntu 17.10
Ubuntu Budgie 17.10
Ubuntu 17.04
Ubuntu Budgie 17.04
Ubuntu 16.04.3
budgie-remix 16.04.3
At the same time, I have refreshed all builds made available by the fantastic indie budgie developers
budgie brightness control applet
budgie calendar applet
budgie haste applet
budgie indicator applet
budgie system monitor applet
budgie pixel saver applet (17.04/17.10)
budgie weather applet (17.04/17.10)
budgie global menu (17.04/17.10)
Budgie Welcome has been updated with all the latest translations; all the above applets can be installed from Budgie Welcome.
… and you want more?! EvopPop and EvoPop Azure themes are also now available to be installed – just open up Budgie Welcome – default settings
Upstream, the Budgie Desktop organisation has published a really great guide of all whats new – so check it out now!
Notes:
Budgie Pixel Saver applet no longer works on Ubuntu 16.04. If you want to have a look and fix it up then get in touch.
Budgie Desktop v10.4 introduces theming changes – specifically themes for the new popovers you see when clicking on applets. All 3rd party budgie themes will need updates to make the popovers work correctly. So again – please contact us and help out fixing these themes – especially for those Ubuntu 16.04 themes.
All of you need to dig in please – upstream themers have moved on to newer GTK versions, so you all need to help and fix for your fellow 16.04 users.
How to install:
For Debian unstable and Debian Buster:
sudo apt install budgie-desktop
For budgie-remix 16.04 users, just update & reboot as normal.
For 16.04 Ubuntu users:
Open budgie-welcome – Recommendations. Enable “Backports”. Then, update and reboot as normal
For 17.10 Ubuntu users:
sudo apt install budgie-desktop
For 17.10 Ubuntu Budgie users … just update and reboot!
