Justin Is that Italy map?

Justin

algent Haha I never noticed that. It's just a photo taken in a canyon at night. Maybe the photographer was aiming for the shape. 🤔

Justin Thank you very much for your explanation.

@Harvey Ubuntu maintains their own extension https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator which does the same as TopIcons-Plus and both didn't work flawlessly for me either 🙁...

Thus, I am very happy that Budgie exists 🙂. KDE Plasma does a great job too though!

Harvey That would be kinda interesting to see Canonical choosing other DE over Gnome now because of stupid Gnome Dev Team politics. Few years ago they left their own Unity which was based on Gnome 2 & impossible to update bla bla bla. Now that would be interesting for me.

I switched from Solus Budgie to Manjaro Gnome a month ago because of Arch software compatibility. Tried to use Gnome Desktop with all of these extensions... Got mad & switched back to Budgie - best DE in my opinion for now & fits my need. Needs a few bugs or features but I love it. So now Manjaro with Budgie & because of Manjaro ,,bloat" I kinda want to switch to vanilla Arch + Budgie but I'm not ready yet xD

Using a Plata-Noir-Compact for a long time, but find this wonderful theme. It also has a good Firefox theme.

Dentraq which applet are you using to display network speed on the panel ?

Dentraq

Anuay It's an indicator-sysmonitor applet.

uudruid74 the only thing I miss the most about Gnome, and the only thing that I would like for Budgie to have. Is that when you press the "super" key by default it brings you a preview of all the open tabs which actually looks and feels awesome. Nice video btw !
Looks like that laptop got some extra life with Solus, awesome speed.

Not sure why I can't edit or delete my previous post. I didn't realize I had already posted the video earlier. Sorry

laky and maybe option for hot corners for triggering opened apps and raven.

Justin

laky It's not as clean but you can use skippy-xd and assign a hotkey to it.

uudruid74

laky So whats the advantage of Budgie now that Gnome 3.36 has pretty much closed all the memory leaks and done significant improvements to response times?

Solarmass

salexandarz I remember my feature request I made a long time ago =)

https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/606

laky

salexandarz I just use simple "super"+N or "super"+A for raven.

Solarmass

laky plus "win"+C to clear notifications

laky

Solarmass Ofc! 😃

Justin seems I need to compile it myself, guess github is the way to go? I'll check it out, thanks for mentioning !
Edit:
It looks like it needs these dependencies

libimlib2-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxft-dev

libxrender-dev zlib1g-dev libxinerama-dev libxcomposite-dev libxdamage-dev libxfixes-dev libxmu-dev

I don't know does solus keep different names for some of these but I can't find all with sudo eopkg sf
should I just request it on dev tracker or something? Seems unsafe to me.

Justin

laky sf is for search file, you want sr which is search. However if you need assistance I'd recommend starting a dedicated thread.

Budgie & Solus are running butter smooth on my Macbook Pro 13" (late 2015)

Justin I am really getting myself into this, but I believe that it will not end good 😃 . Haha, sorry to take anymore of this nonsense here, but since you mentioned it I want to ask have you made this to run on Budgie? I've also checked with sudo find / | grep -i "" and "zlib1g libfreetype6 libfontconfig1" where not found also the first thing I saw when I opened the zip file I downloaded from github was a deb folder. Not sure is it a good idea to even open a thread for this.
