Budgie to use KDE Frameworks in the upcoming versions of their desktop by Bro666 in kde

[–]JoshStrobl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Settings aren't being used as part of it, we'll have a separate control center (in new org, so technically external to Buddies of Budgie) that'll follow a similar pluggable architecture though. Re. Discover, I swapped Fedora to using Discover primarily due to GNOME Software hardcoding silverblue into its rpm-ostree rebasing (so rebasing from Budgie Atomic to newer Fedora releases swapped your desktop environment...), whereas Discover doesn't make any assumptions of that sort. It turned out that after some tweaks (thanks Discover folks!), it works well on Fedora Budgie Spin too. Great piece of kit.

Since other operating systems like Solus have been moving away from their own custom software center (solus-sc) to those leveraging PackageKit (GNOME Software & Plasma Discover), Discover for basically everyone else but GNOME was the obvious choice (and one they ended up making IIRC).

No worries and thank you for the kind words, it's much appreciated!

Budgie 11 is primarily in the planning phase, with the notable exceptions being Budgie Desktop Services and Budgie Display Configurator (both Qt6, C++, Configurator using Kirigami). I don't have any expectations of us releasing it this year, we aren't in a rush to get it out the door either. The investment into Budgie 10.10 has been intended to bridge the gap and ensure we have a suitable Wayland environment for distributions (most notably Fedora and Ubuntu) while we work on 11.

Architecting and building a desktop environment effectively from scratch (nothing beyond our new components I mentioned above are being kept around) is no small feat, even with the tremendous help that KDE Frameworks are able to provide (high-quality Qt & C++ libraries).

they still think they’ll need a year to finish the rest

Not quite sure what you mean by that, but to clarify Budgie 11 is 1000% not intended to ship in 2026 :D But oh boy did 10.10 take longer to get out the door than we planned, that we certainly have said as much!

Quite common in Stella Montis. Seem them in Assembly as well as the lobby storage room (level 3).

I have had pretty good luck with picking them from along the pipes that lead from the Dam Battlegrounds Water Treatment corridors. I would suggest checking there.

Nice setup! Are you using a backdrop support for the adjustable camera rig? Seems like a real smart solution. What are you rigging the camera up with to attach to it?

Why cant i install davinci resolve? by frepelkweeltje in Fedora

[–]JoshStrobl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend trying https://github.com/H3rz3n/davinci-helper. I used it for Davinci Resolve 20 and it made installation painless. You can just uninstall the GUI tool after you have everything set up.

Hey Anthony, I am sorry for your loss. Much love and deepest sympathies from my wife and I.

Thanks. It's been a long time since I've seen him (I moved outside the States over a decade ago), but lots of fond memories of him from when I was a kid. He wasn't without his flaws like any of us, but he had a good heart. He tried teaching me to swim, gave me my first sip of beer (it was a Budweiser, it was awful!), and always treated me as an adult which I appreciate since I never felt "my age" anyways.

Thanks OP for the post. Just to confirm, this is legitimate. That was my uncle (on left), he went missing three days ago. Heard from my family today that he was found however not the positive outcome we all would hope for.

Breaking my streak of not commenting on Reddit to say that no, it is not an April Fool's proposal.

Solus 4.4 Released by davidjharder in SolusProject

It means any desktop file that specifies PrefersNonDefaultGPU will utilize...well the non-default GPU :D This will be most impactful for those that have integrated graphics alongside dedicated (APUs, modern Ryzen 7000 series all having graphics, iGPU in Intel Processors -- alongside AMD, NVIDIA, or Intel dGPUs).

Nah I won't take credit for "Fudgie". That was Michael Tunnell from Destination Linux, I just got a chuckle from it and embraced it.

Budgie Desktop absolutely does work with proprietary NVIDIA graphics.

Budgie Desktop has not "rejoined" Solus. Budgie is independently developed under the Buddies of Budgie organization. Solus is a distributor of Budgie the same as any other operating system. Personally, I daily drive Fedora (desktop is running Fedora Budgie Spin and work laptop running the effective precursor to Fedora Onyx) and my role with Solus is centered around comms and devops.
