Ubuntu Budgie is an official community flavor of Ubuntu. It combines an Ubuntu-based operating system with an independently developed graphical user interface-based desktop environment named Budgie.

History

[edit]

Ubuntu Budgie began as an unofficial community flavor in parallel with Ubuntu 16.04 long-term support (LTS), referred to as "budgie-remix".[3] budgie-remix 16.10 was later released by strictly following the time frame issued for Ubuntu 16.10.[4]

It was eventually recognized as an official community flavor of Ubuntu, and was rebranded as Ubuntu Budgie.[5]

In November 2017, Vincenzo Bovino was hired as the new brand and public relations (PR) manager.[6]

Ubuntu Budgie 17.04 was released in April 2017,[7] and was updated to version 17.10 in October 2017.[8]

32-bit support was deprecated from Ubuntu Budgie and Ubuntu MATE with version 18.10.[9]
