joluveba Wow, I stand corrected. I fully accept my owned with sportmanship 🙂
Well, you aren't far off. I was just being snotty, for which I apologize. Ubuntu Budgie is the exception that proves the rule right now, I suspect.
Budgie was tied into Solus for years, and the non-Solus distros were using outdated Budgie repos of necessity. I suspect that most still do, and are on some outdated version or another. Ultramarine, now dead as I understand it, was using a Budgie version that was never released, for example.
When Budgie moved away from Solus a few months ago, the current Budgie repos became available to all and sundry, so I expect that the Budgie implementations will eventually catch up to current.
But who knows? Unlike Ubuntu Budgie, most of the static Budgie distros are maintained by very small teams who are downstream non-contributing Budgie consumers, and may or may not, as @Staudey noted, even be aware that Budgie has changed versions.
I haven't used a static release distro since I moved from Ubuntu to Solus in 2017, so I am not all that familiar with how static releases work currently.
I tested Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 for several months and now have 22.04 LTS installed (alongside Solus) on my Linux production computer. I'm assuming that UB will use point releases (22.04 to 22.04.1, for example) to track Budgie point releases (e.g. 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 or 10.7.0, for example) but is likely to hold off on Budgie 11 until a full release (22.10, 23.04, whatever). I'll have to wait and see.
