Sebastian While Gnome users maybe just tend not to be that intrested in tweaking things and just want the elegance and simplicity of Gnome and are thus less active in the forum. That's the story I tell myself for consolidation ππ
π«’ . that's ok we all console similarly: by rationalizing. "Elegance." π.
"To the Budgie users: what is it that you like so much about Budgie?"
I agree that Raven needs a makeover/rebirth/repurpose....but what I like about Budgie is it's not XFCE, LXQT, or Cinnamon. Once you master those 3 then the room gets a little smaller and less customizable. They seem more fixed in what they can do. I feel no such constrictions in the ever-morphing Budgie; no roadblocks. I've felt roadblocks in those three DE's before.
I know that's a weird answer but I'm odd......the other reasons I love Budgie: modern, way easy on the eyes, and Celtic Magic.
As for you comments about Mate I agree. Rock solid. Hard to look at every dayπ I think time passed it by as well.
