Ubuntu Budgie is an official community flavor of Ubuntu. It combines the Ubuntu-based system with the independently developed Budgie desktop environment.

History[edit]

Ubuntu Budgie started out as an unofficial community flavor in parallel with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, referred to as "budgie-remix".[2] budgie-remix 16.10 was later released by strictly following the time frame issued for Ubuntu 16.10.[3]

It was eventually recognized as an official community flavor of Ubuntu, and was rebranded as Ubuntu Budgie.[4]

In November 2017, Vincenzo Bovino was hired as the new brand and PR Manager.[5]

Ubuntu Budgie 17.04 was released in April 2017,[6] and was updated to version 17.10 in October 2017.[7]

32-bit support was deprecated from Ubuntu Budgie and Ubuntu MATE with the 18.10 release.[8]
