Budgie 10.10 Desktop Approved For Fedora 44 Packaging, Fedora Budgie Spin All-Wayland

([Fedora] 12 Hours Ago Fedora 44 + Budgie 10.10)


In addition to approving [1]Fedora Cloud switching /boot to a Btrfs subvolume , another change approved this week by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) is for shipping the Budgie 10.10 desktop packages in Fedora 44.

Fedora already enjoys Budgie in the package repository as an alternative desktop option. There is also the Fedora Budgie Spin for those wanting to enjoy the Budgie desktop experience out-of-the-box. Now for Fedora 44, it will get Budgie 10.10 thanks to the FESCo approval.

Budgie 10.10 is [2]currently out in preview form and is the release that shifts its X11 desktop session support over to Wayland.

Budgie 10.10 migrates from X11 to Wayland which aligns with Fedora's focus on Wayland and replacing X11. Budgie 10.10 makes use of labwc as its Wayland compositor. As part of the Fedora change proposal, they also plan to make use of SDDM as the display manager that uses Wayland by default to then provide the Fedora Budgie Spin with a "Wayland-native from startup to shutdown" experience.

More details on the Fedora 44 plans for Budgie 10.10 that are now approved via the [3]Fedora change proposal .

`Lasu' Releases SAG 0.3 -- Freeware Book Takes Paves For New World Order
by staff writers

...
The SAG is one of the major products developed via the Information
Superhighway, the brain child of Al Gore, US Vice President. The ISHW
is being developed with massive government funding, since studies show
that it already has more than four hundred users, three years before
the first prototypes are ready. Asked whether he was worried about the
foreign influence in an expensive American Dream, the vice president
said, ``Finland? Oh, we've already bought them, but we haven't told
anyone yet. They're great at building model airplanes as well. And _I
can spell potato.'' House representatives are not mollified, however,
wanting to see the terms of the deal first, fearing another Alaska.
Rumors about the SAG release have imbalanced the American stock
market for weeks. Several major publishing houses reached an all time
low in the New York Stock Exchange, while publicly competing for the
publishing agreement with Mr. Wirzenius. The negotiations did not work
out, tough. ``Not enough dough,'' says the author, although spokesmen
at both Prentice-Hall and Playboy, Inc., claim the author was incapable
of expressing his wishes in a coherent form during face to face talks,
preferring to communicate via e-mail. ``He kept muttering something
about jiffies and pegs,'' they say.
