I normally dabble in linux distros now and again but i havent installed one for months . Tonight i gave ubuntu budgie a go and loved it .Cant believe how quick it is compared to windows 7 .

I have had trouble getting Vulkan to work on Solus so I switched to Ubuntu budgie a few days ago.
Have to admit, it's pretty decent for an ubuntu distro.

It's the first distro where I have managed to game above 60fps at all times too, with no stutters. Though this could be due to the new nvidia drivers.

Is budgie the latest version of Ubuntu?

It's a desktop environment, i.e an alternative to MATE, GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon etc. Fairly lightweight without being stripped down.

Had a play with budgie for a few days. Sorry lubuntu is far better and more importantly. More stable

Technically, they are exactly the same

You just prefer LXDE over Budgie.

Lol I know what you mean. But seriously. I found some bugs in budgie. Shame as it has a nicer interface. But I'll stay with lubuntu for now

Yeah I have a couple bugs in budgie too, I'm willing to live with them though as this is the only DE that I have enjoyed enough to actually stay off Windows 10.
I haven't booted to that HDD in well over a month now.
