The Budgie 10.10 desktop has been officially released in marking the open-source project's transition from X11 to Wayland.

The brief announcement with the just-tagged Budgie 10.10 on GitHub exclaims:

This release marks our official migration from X11 to Wayland. It’s a landmark moment that rounds out over a decade of the Budgie 10 series, allowing us to now put our focus towards Budgie 11."

Budgie 10.10 was [1]supposed to be out in Q1'2025 as the project's first Wayland-only release albeit development dragged on much longer than originally anticipated.

After [2]the 10.10 preview release in November, Budgie 10.10 is officially out today for those wanting to try this latest Wayland-based Linux desktop. Download it from [3]GitHub .

The Greatest Mathematical Error
The Mariner I space probe was launched from Cape Canaveral on 28
July 1962 towards Venus. After 13 minutes' flight a booster engine would
give acceleration up to 25,820 mph; after 44 minutes 9,800 solar cells
would unfold; after 80 days a computer would calculate the final course
corrections and after 100 days the craft would circle the unknown planet,
scanning the mysterious cloud in which it is bathed.
However, with an efficiency that is truly heartening, Mariner I
plunged into the Atlantic Ocean only four minutes after takeoff.
Inquiries later revealed that a minus sign had been omitted from
the instructions fed into the computer. "It was human error", a launch
spokesman said.
This minus sign cost L4,280,000.
