Version 10 is a complete and utter rewrite of the Budgie Desktop from the ground up.

Budgie is now also 2 years old, Woo, Go Budgie!

Massive thanks go to @horst3180 for all of his effort in this rewrite, including all the assets, styling, and overall design through multiple iterations, mockups and pull requests. You rock bro.

For best results, we recommend using the Arc themes with Budgie.

There's way too much to cover, but long story short:

  • Removed epic amounts of derp
  • Support multiple monitors (follow primary)
  • Proper HiDPI support
  • All settings now handled in Raven
  • Raven is our new Notification Center. In future this will support custom applets
  • Open That Guy ^ with Win+N or the tray
  • Support multiple panels
  • Keyboard layout properly supported (switching too!)
  • Budgie Session dropped in favour of gnome-session integration
  • Everything is a shit ton faster and less derpy..
  • Over 400 commits in the making...
  • All old Budgie settings ignored as it was completely full of derp, sorry!
  • Support for applets in multiple languages via Peas. Woo.
