Budgie

About

Budgie is a feature-rich, modern desktop environment designed to stay out of the user's way and provide a complete desktop experience through various components. Developed internationally, it is exclusively available for Linux platforms and is distributed as Free and Open Source software. Key features include a strong focus on privacy with no tracking, a dark mode, no registration requirements, offline functionality, support for multiple monitors, hot corners, and keyboard shortcuts, alongside user engagement through feature suggestions and theme support. The project maintains an active presence on GitHub and Twitter. User reviews generally praise its compatibility, though some note specific configuration challenges, such as the hot corners applet on Arch Linux requiring manual compilation of budgie-extras.
