Budgie desktop preparing for Wayland-only rollout |
|
The Budgie desktop environment is evolving and the team has posted an overview of progress made to the desktop in 2024 along with plans for the near future. Budgie 10.10 is expected to make the shift from X11 to Wayland-only and the developers have a roadmap for getting the new Wayland-only version of their desktop into major distributions. "In case it wasn't clear to some readers, Budgie 10.10 will be Wayland-only. In git, it has been Wayland-only since July 2024. We will not support both X11 and Wayland. It will be too late for Fedora 42 and Ubuntu 25.04, so the current plan is: Ship it in Fedora rawhide once it is branched for Fedora 43 as well as have a COPR for Fedora 42. Budgie 10.10(.x) will ship in Fedora 43, with a self-contained change proposal planned to be submitted after the 10.10 release. While it won't be available immediately with Budgie 10.10, the plan is to also offer an ISO with the Wayland session set up out-of-the-box too. Ubuntu Budgie folks will provide an on-ramp in the form of a PPA for interested testers with the plan on shipping for Ubuntu 25.10. Solus will have either a testing repo, or otherwise make available eopkg downloads for testing. Since it is a rolling release, they have the luxury of being able to ship it whenever, so they will do it after would-be testers have put it through its paces and we have worked out any issues that'd be considered blockers." |
