\"Budgie<\/a><\/p>\n

Budgie is a lightweight GTK3 desktop session using libmutter and a bottom panel. It’s the default DE for Evolve OS, a new desktop Linux distribution.<\/b><\/p>\n

Budgie desktop has a single panel budgie-panel<\/code> which uses trivial amounts of RAM (in the region of 7MB) when started. However, when you first open the menu, GTK actually loads the images. This needs to be hacked a bit, as it delays the first open, and should be done in an asynchronous manner.<\/p>\n

Budgie’s window manager is currently based on libmutter, so naturally with 3.12 will gain support to be a Wayland compositor. <\/p>\n

Budgie Desktop integrates with the GNOME stack, and as such requires certain components to operate correctly. Your distribution should provide an autostart file for gnome-settings-daemon in its package.<\/p>\n

budgie-session will attempt to parse the file and launch it if it is found, which is guessed to be living in: \/etc\/xdg\/autostart\/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop<\/p>\n

If budgie-session cannot locate the file, gnome-settings-daemon will not be launched, and dynamic settings for themes, etc, will not work until it is launched.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu users: It is highly likely your theme or Ubuntu setup can affect the usability of budgie-panel.<\/b><\/p>\n

If you have focus\/use issues with the panel (i.e. not taking input), disable overlay scrollbars by running below command in a terminal window:<\/p>\n

gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal<\/pre>\n
Install Budgie Desktop:<\/b><\/p>\n
NOTE: Budgie is still in early development stage. It has a lot of to-do things, only install it on test machine before it gets table!<\/i><\/p>\n
To install it (from a third-party PPA), press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b> on keyboard to open the terminal. When it opens, run commands below one by one:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sukso96100\/budgie-desktop\n\nsudo apt-get update\n\nsudo apt-get install budgie-desktop<\/pre>\n
