Why does Ubuntu Budgie have Plank, but Solus does not have Plank by default and does not have it as an option? Is Plank no longer supported by its developers?

P.S.Most of the tags don't work to create this topic, and you can't put your own tags :с

sudo eopkg it plank, if you really want it.
Keep in mind a couple of things, tough.

  • Looking at the repo shows that the latest activity on it is from two years ago. There's also a bunch of PRs that's been sitting there for years, meaning that the project is either effectively dead or nearly so
  • Plank, as far as I remember, is X11 only and doesn't work on Wayland. Everything that's locked on X11 is either dead or going to die in the (relatively) close future, since X11 is for all intents and purposes in maintenance mode pending sunsetting. Even Budgie is going to transition to Wayland only in the (relatively) close future, so if your use case is Budgie + Plank.... it's not going to last.

    Thank you, you seemed to answer me aggressively. I saw the comments of users about Wayland, I am waiting for it as well as you.

      My nickname is taken from the Brazilian TV series CLONE, in its European name O CLONE

      So...I'm not a clone, don't be afraid

      One of our values in Solus land is "be kind". With this in mind, we try to avoid assumptions that someone is giving advice in bad faith, or assign negative associations like passive aggressiveness without evidence. It's better to give people the benefit of the doubt, especially when they are volunteering their time to answer questions.

      @CorvusRuber has been a valuable contributor to the forums for years. We appreciate them, and all our other volunteers. Please treat them with respect. Thanks.

      Ubuntu Budgie has their own vision of Budgie. Plank is 3rd party dock app, not part of Budgie project. Budgie has its own option to create native dock if you want it.

        You can create a new Panel in Budgie Settings, go to Panel Settings and enable Dock Mode. I never used it as I prefer real panels over docks.

          Solarmass Thanks for the reply. Exactly. I forgot about custom manipulations with Budgie panels!🤗💓
