Ubuntu Budgie (formerly Budgie-Remix) is an official community flavor of Ubuntu featuring the Budgie desktop. It combines the stable and thoroughly-tested Ubuntu core with a modern, lightweight and traditional-looking desktop developed by the Solus project.

History

Ubuntu Budgie started out as an unofficial community flavor in parallel with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, referred to as budgie-remix.[2] Budgie-remix 16.10 was later released by strictly following the time frame issued for Ubuntu 16.10.[3]

It was eventually recognized as an official community flavor of Ubuntu, and was rebranded as Ubuntu Budgie.[4]

Vincenzo Bovino was hired as the new brand and PR Manager.[5]


Ubuntu Budgie 17.04 was released in April 2017,[6] and was updated to version 17.10 in October 2017.[7]

In Ubuntu Budgie 18.10, 32-bit support has been dropped.[8] 32-bit support has been also dropped in Ubuntu MATE.

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

This is our first release that follows the release cycle of Ubuntu - we worked to closely link our alpha and two beta versions in the same way as Ubuntu and other official communities. Based on the impressions of 16.04.1, the feedback and suggestions we received from our users, the new release comes with many new features, fixes and optimization.

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

A significant part of this development cycle was spent on integration with the Canonical assembly system. The key visible integration elements were the Plymouth settings, which used Ubiquity installer, processing packages to remove the identities of "budgie-remix" and replaced with the renewed identity of "Ubuntu Budgie".

In addition, there is support for left or right side panels in Budgie Desktop 10.4, support for converting panels in the dock, transparency and dynamic auto-image for all panels, and the ability to replenish the bottom panel to work without a terrible "jump" effect.

On December 20, 2017, Canonical withdrew the Ubuntu 17.10 distribution in October and hid the link on the site for downloading. The reason was a critical bug with BIOS damage on some Lenovo notebook models and one Acer model.[32]
