How to install lightweight Budgie Desktop Envirenment on Ubuntu



How to install lightweight Budgie Desktop Envirenment on Ubuntu :





The latest new open-source Linux desktop initiative is Budgie, a desktop focused on simplicity. The Budgie desktop is now undergoing possible review for inclusion into Fedora. 

Budgie is the desktop environment designed for the Evolve OS Linux distribution. According to its developers, Budgie is "designed with the modern user in mind, it focuses on simplicity and elegance. A huge advantage for the Budgie desktop is that it is not a fork of another project, but rather one written from scratch with integration in mind." 

While Budgie is written from scratch, it aims to integrate with the GNOME stack and can emulate the look-and-feel of the traditional GNOME 2 desktop. 


As noted by the author, the reference wayland compositor, Weston, has a few problems that will cause major headaches for budgie:
  • Cannot determine own X and Y position (panel)
  • Cannot actually set X and Y (panel), so will hack Mutter to use gravity, private protocol
  • Wayland doesn’t agree with things like wnck. So asking for the list of windows and events isn’t possible, meaning you can’t actually have a tasklist. Unless its in-process (Mutter/Weston/etc). Which I’m not going to support. So it’ll have to be an XDG protocol or some such
Budgie Desktop integrates with the GNOME stack, and as such requires certain components to operate correctly. For Ubuntu users, it is highly likely your theme or Ubuntu setup can affect the usability of budgie-panel.
