Budgie Desktop 10.10 has been released, delivering its first full migration from X11 to Wayland and marking the end of a development spanning more than a decade (the initial 10’s release came out in December 2015). With that said, with the new 10.10 release, Budgie 10 series now enters maintenance mode as the project shifts its primary focus toward the upcoming Budgie 11.

Despite the underlying architectural change, the user experience under Wayland remains intentionally familiar. Panels, applets, Raven, desktop icons provided by Budgie Desktop View, and established keyboard shortcuts all behave much as they did under X11.

I adored Budgie precisely because it was still on X11 🥲

Anyway, for a relatively simple and clean holistic GNOME-that's-not-GNOME, it's a very polished desktop. Worth checking out for your F&F.
