Designed with the modern user in mind, it focuses on simplicity and elegance. A huge advantage for the Budgie desktop is that it is not a fork of another project, but rather one written from scratch with integration in mind.

Solus is an tier 1 distro using its own packaging mechanism eopkg. Solus supports only its own distro (naturally) in a 64bit intel based system only. The maintainer does accept bug-reports for other distro's as long as it is reproducible in Solus and/or the maintainer considers that the wider use of its desktop environment would be enhanced. The maintainer does produce OBS packages for a number of distros - but not Debian. For myself, I am the project leader of a Ubuntu based distro called budgie-remix that uses budgie-desktop as its choice of desktop. Thus, my direct interest is ensuring that Debian and its derivative eco-system is enhanced by the incorporation of this exciting new desktop system. Packaging Notes: To produce a debian package that works in debian and ubuntu I have used a more traditional rules based package rather than a simpler debhelper auto-build mechanism. I have had to do it this way because debhelper does not produce binaries that actually work on a Ubuntu based platform - the desktop system fails to launch at logon. The failure is silent - there is no obvious reason why debhelper autobuild fails to produce a working solution. I've tested this traditional package mechanism on Debian Stretch 64bit (up-to-date today), Debian Stretch 32bit (up-to-date today), Ubuntu (64bit) 16.04 and Ubuntu (32bit) 16.04. This build package has been used for two upstream releases now for budgie-remix and thus I have confidence that this mechanism will be sustainable in the long-term. The patches incorporated are required for specifically Debian and Ubuntu and are used in budgie-remix itself. Changes since the last upload: * initial Debian package Regards, David Mohammed (fossfreedom)
