#Budgie Desktop 10.10.2 is here! We have significantly improved the labwc bridge, introduced better app matching in Icon Tasklist, scaling fixes, and a whole lot more. Check it out at buddiesofbudgie.org/...#Budgie #OpenSource #Linux #BudgieDesktop

Gonna go live tomorrow at 1300 UTC for some last minute fixes (IconTasklist PR), release prep, and the actual release of Budgie 10.10.2! Tune in for a peak behind the curtain at

#Budgie Desktop 10.10.2 releases this Saturday! Chirp #7 covers the latest: dialog fixes, Crystal Dock support, Icon Tasklist app matching improvements, and more. buddiesofbudgie.org/...#Budgie#7#OpenSource #Linux #BudgieDesktop

Chirp #6 is out! Show Desktop functionality rework, HiDPI fixes, session crash squashed, IconTasklist fixes, and still more improvements to come! Clear skies ahead for an upcoming Budgie 10.10.2. Read more at buddiesofbudgie.org/...#6 #Budgie #BudgieDesktop #OpenSource #Linux

Chirp #5 is out! We sat down to plan the road ahead for Budgie 11, got live panel configuration working, and polished up 10.10. buddiesofbudgie.org/...#5 Take care :)

I will be live Wednesday (today for me :P) at 1530 UTC for more Budgie 11 work! I will be implementing configuration in our panel for budgie-shell, particularly: screen edge, per-region extension lists, and per-output (more to come there later). youtube.com/live/Pjk7sMz...

New Chirp is out. Budgie 10 gets independent compositor theming, Budgie 11's panel evolves with a new QML loader, and Magpie gains focus methods. Oh, and we redesigned the website. buddiesofbudgie.org/... Happy coding :)

Tomorrow (Wed. Feb 4th) at 1530 UTC I will be live again for more Magpie development for #Budgie 11. I will be doing some (necessary) code cleanup / re-organization, taking a look at #Qt6 QKeySequence, and Mir / Miral API exploration!

Bit of a lighter one for this week, but still solid updates across Budgie 10 and Budgie 11 regardless! Read about it at buddiesofbudgie.org/... and have a great week :)

Going to be live again tomorrow (Sunday, February 1st) at 1100 UTC for more #Budgie 11 Magpie development. Working on getting VOD from today uploaded separately (some audio tweaks and trimming), so keep an eye on my channel for that.

Our first minor release of #Budgie 10.10 series is out with Budgie 10.10.1! This release improves stability, fixes bugs, expands on our labwc support, and more! Read more at buddiesofbudgie.org/...#Budgie #OpenSource #Linux

Live tomorrow (Saturday, Jan 31st) at 1100 UTC. The goal is simple: Integrating KConfig for configuration into our Mir-based Wayland compositor.

Chirp 2 is live! 🐦 This week, we have released Budgie Control Center 2.1.0, added "sloppy" focus support for Budgie 10.10.1, refreshed our website, continued our work on Budgie 11, and more! Read more at buddiesofbudgie.org/... #OpenSource #Linux #Budgie

Did you know we’re on OpenCollective? Developing Budgie 11 will mean capitalizing on your support for CI/CD and hardware in ways we didn't during 10.x. Donations are appreciated and thank you to all that have donated thus far! ❤️

Been going through the Mir docs, building out the next iteration of the @buddiesofbudgie.bsky.social Magpie compositor. Just in a matter of a few hours we went from no compositor to one that is able to run budgie-panel. Looking forward to continuing to iterate on it! #Linux #OpenSource

Time for the first Chirp article! This one details new Budgie Control Center settings and 10-series maintenance, alongside Budgie 11 progress regarding our approach to configuration, architectural foundations, and early bootstrapping. buddiesofbudgie.org/blog/chirp-1 #BudgieDesktop #OpenSource

Small beginnings: #Budgie 11 panel in Qt6 and QML, leveraging LayerShellQt. The code will looking nothing like this probably in a matter of days, but fun to iterate nonetheless!

Right, the one you really have been waiting for. Let's talk #Budgie 11 and how we plan on improving communication going forwards. buddiesofbudgie.org/blog/state-o...

Budgie 10.10 is here! 🚀 This release marks our official migration from X11 to Wayland. It’s a landmark moment that rounds out over a decade of the Budgie 10 series, allowing us to now put our focus towards Budgie 11. buddiesofbudgie.org/blog/budgie-... #BudgieDesktop #Wayland #Linux

Took some work and testing, but I have CI/CD validated using the forge that all the @buddiesofbudgie.bsky.social Budgie 11 bits will be on (as well as something else I'm cookin up) 🚀

🧵 Got a #Budgie 11 Kickoff meeting scheduled for the team for this Sunday 🎉 2026 is gonna be a great year for Buddies of Budgie, just as soon as we put this pesky 10.10 (truly the last major B10 release) in the rear-view mirror! (It's shipping in next Fedora and Ubuntu Budgie after all.)

Just tagged a new preview build of Budgie 10.10 (10.10-preview.2) with various bug and crash fixes, some missed adaptations for renamed desktop files, improvements for running Electron apps, and improvements for running in virtualized environments. #OpenSource github.com/BuddiesOfBud... - Joshua

In anticipation of #Budgie 10.10's release and shipping in #Fedora 44, I have submitted a Change Proposal for its inclusion! I will be packaging up the components this week for rawhide 🚀 fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes... BIg thanks to @conan-kudo.bsky.social for the help with the proposal 👏

The end to the saga of #Budgie 10.10 development is near! We just put out Budgie 10.10-preview.1, intended for packagers (e.g. Fedora and Ubuntu) to start shipping in preparation for their releases next year. 🎉 github.com/BuddiesOfBud...

While we are hard at work wrapping up features & functionality for Budgie 10.10 (so we can FINALLY move on to 11), we have just put out a Budgie 10.9.3 release to align with changes in GNOME 49.x. Release notes available at github.com/BuddiesOfBud... Coming to a distro near you!

ICYMI: Fedora Budgie 42 and Fedora Budgie Atomic 42 will ship with Discover. It is very speedy and plays well with the atomic image (in that it doesn't have silverblue hardcoded as the rpm-ostree rebase image and result in users being surprised by a GNOME desktop after they upgrade!) 😁

2024 was a pivotal year for #BudgieDesktop, with our Budgie 10.9 release series and our focus on our move to Wayland. Time to dive into our State of the Budgie to recap our efforts in 2024 and the goals for 2025. buddiesofbudgie.org/blog/state-o... #OpenSource #Linux

Recently landed an MR from team member David (fossfreedom) that makes it so that those of us internally dogfooding the Wayland experience of Budgie 10 no longer need to stare at blank screens or write our own scripts to fire off swaybg! Still plenty of work to do of course :) youtu.be/tP9uy0OBUyQ
