Without it we would not have been able to bring you 18.10. We are particularly proud of Canonical’s Iain Lane (Laney) who provided a massive mutter compatible patch. Whilst v10.5 was not made official by the time of Cosmic Feature freeze, we have grabbed as much as we can to showcase the good work that has been made by Solus and the wider budgie development community. If you want to showcase your applet in UB contact us and let us know about your project. In total Ubuntu Budgie users have direct install access to twenty-seven applets through budgie-welcome This Desktop based weather applet is installed by default and can be added to your panel. WeatherShow – Weather forecast every three hours and over five days.New productivity applets are now available from Budgie Welcome: Budgie Welcome – Translation team has been very busy – many more languages now available.We will next run a community contest for the 20.04 LTS Ubuntu Budgie Team Wallpapers for 18.10 – the UB team has decided for this release to choose their favorite wallpapers – quite an eclectic bunch.
More new productivity applets are now available from Budgie Welcome. We’ve added a new game 2048 as part of the default install – great way to while-away a few hours. The caffeine appindicator has been dropped – this has been replaced with the native caffeine budgie-applet that comes with budgie-desktop v10.5. TLP is still available to be installed if the kernel powersavings do not impact you due to using an older CPU. The powersavings in the kernel from kernel 4.18 are significant for newer computers. We have dropped TLP from the default install. … and for good measure we have added ubuntu budgie welcome as a default program icon to make discovery instant. So out goes a chromium-browser icon on both the icon-task-list and plank dock – in comes Firefox
Due to overwhelming vote (75% for), Firefox now becomes our default browser. Budgie Desktop “v10.5” (almost) – we are pleased to promote the latest available capabilities made available by the Solus upstream project.
