David Mohammed and Udara Madubhashana announced that the Budgie desktop environment is now an official flavor of it Ubuntu.
After two successful big releases, the budgie-remix finally became Ubuntu's official flavor when the four members of Canonical's technical council voted positively. There were no negative votes or abstentions. So the new flavor of Ubuntu is available for everyone and is called Ubuntu Budgie.
What is Ubuntu Budgie (former budgie-remix)?
Of course it will be an Ubuntu based distro that uses Budgie as the default desktop. It has the same level quality and the same packages as every other official Ubuntu flavor, but designed to be lightweight, user-friendly, simple, and fully customizable. The Budgie desktop is based on and uses the latest GNOME technologies.
After the important announcement, the developers of budgie-remix will have a lot of work as only the rebranding of the name "budgie-remix" on Ubuntu Budgie requires working hours.
Let's mention for those who do not know that the Wudgie interface is used by Solus distribution.
The Ubuntu Budgie developers are in constant conversations with Project Solus lead Ikey Doherty to ensure an efficient and positive cooperation between the two groups.
The reason is obvious: any improvement that comes from Ubuntu developers will also be released for users of the Solus distribution or users of other distributions using Budgie as an interface.
Of course, improvements from the developers of the Solus distribution will be added to the Ubuntu desktop. Why; It's Open Source and this is how it works…
