        If you tried it a few years ago, then we have tried different products. Try it again and we can compare.

          ive used it semi-recently on a VM and dont think it changed that much. i like that it seems to be lighweight and not much more.

          what do you generally like about it?

            I like its simplicity, and how light weight it is. It can be customized pretty well—I like all my stuff on top. I also like that it’s a smaller group of people that are pretty focused on improvements and less about politics. They release updates frequently, and listen to user requests. It’s worked out of the box on whatever I put it on, unlike some other distros (note: I use the distro, not just the DE)

            I’m curious what you dislike about it?

              its not bad per se, i feel like it lacks attention to detail and more ux people on the team.

              dialogues and DE utilities look inconsistent to eachother. spacing and sizes of things, including icons and fonts look not that well tought out, making the whole thing feel off, kind of cheap or amateurish.

              this might have changed since i gave it a real try but it lacks many small qol features like disabling some indicators i dont use and other assorted small stuff many othet des implement.

              i find this type of stuff is common among smaller des

                You should try 10.8, slap Ubuntubudgie.org on a usb and give it a shot. Or way a month or so for 10.9 which supports Wayland. They have a lot of what you mentioned now.

                What do you use atm?

                  I settled for vanilla Ubuntu many centuries ago and liked it enough to stick with it. Been feeling like trying other stuff again just to see how things have been developing, hence my interest. Get that slightly greener grass under my feet for a lil bit.

                  So long as its something reasonably mature that won’t get in my way. I’m inclined to try Budgie again. Plasma 6, Cosmic and a couple of others are looking nice too.

      I don’t know what it is, and neither the article nor the Budgie website seem keen on explaining it.

    I’m a KDE user, but had a great experience using Budgie. I’m glad this software is an option for people.
