I prefer Budgie, but use MATE for older machines. I dig the execution of MATE desktop in Solus, since it's so simple (when comparing to eg. Ubuntu MATE)

kiwi There's vala-panel-appmenu-budgie-desktop in the repos. Is that what you're looking for? 😀

Budgie, 💗
I am waiting for the Task List applet improvements.

kyrios Quickly, everybody write bots so Gnome gets some bots.
When I asked Josh why does Solus have Gnome edition and if it isn't too much strain on the devs, he said that it is pretty easy to maintain. I can see why, looking at problems with KDE it might have better user/work hour ratio.

    JacekJagosz The reason why KDE is more involved when it comes to maintaining (thanks sunnyflunk and @Girtablulu ❤️ ) is because they have a much faster release cadence than GNOME does, which means more frequent updates and therefore more work to update the experience and test it.

    Budgie of course, that is why is i am a Solus user because i want to use Budgie from its source, it is everything i am looking for in a desktop environment.

      serebit I ran Solus Plasma for a few months.
      It works great!!
      Missing it already, so think I shall reinstall it when next I get time.

      I Had been a Gnome user for many months, but just recently switched to plasma and really love it. It's a tad buggier than Gnome, and I really do miss those dynamic workspaces. That said, I really have fallen in love with some of the eye candy features of Plasma (wobbly windows!) and it's just easier to muck around with in general.

      My vote is Gnome, I tried Budgie, but did not like it, as the task bar was at the top of the screen and at the time of testing I could not fin out how to move it to the bottom, so decided on Gnome which I have customised to how I want an OS to be.
