e are pleased to announce the release of the next version of our distro – and the first as an official flavor of the Ubuntu family.
Based on 16.04 and 16.10 budgie-remix experiences, feedback and suggestions we have received from our users, the new release comes with a lot of new features, fixes and optimizations:
- Focused heavily on stability
- More customisation options via budgie welcome
-
- Complete desktop look and feel change – Material Designs of Adapta or Vimix
-
- Startup wizard on first logon taking new users through the first logon procedures
-
- Browser ballot – we believe you should decide what your favorite browser should be
-
- Overhaul of our delivered application set – the best from the GNOME family as well as the fantastic Terminix terminal emulator
- Latest upstream Budgie desktop v10.2.9
