Budgie Desktop is a feature-rich, elegant desktop environment for Linux, originally developed for the Solus distribution, featuring a panel, Raven sidebar, and notification system. This original repository has been moved to the Buddies of Budgie organization, which now maintains active development.

Use cases

  • install a lightweight elegant desktop environment on linux
  • use the budgie desktop on my distro
  • customize a linux desktop panel and notifications
  • replace gnome shell with a simpler desktop
  • build a custom linux desktop environment

When to choose

  • you want a clean, modern GTK-based desktop environment on Linux
  • you are a Solus user or want the classic Budgie experience
  • you want a desktop with an integrated Raven sidebar and applets

When to avoid

  • you need actively developed code - use the BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop fork instead
  • you are not on Linux
  • you need a desktop environment with long-term support guarantees from this specific repository
