I hated it last time I tried it, admiteddly a few years ago. What do you like about it?

ive used it semi-recently on a VM and dont think it changed that much. i like that it seems to be lighweight and not much more.
what do you generally like about it?

its not bad per se, i feel like it lacks attention to detail and more ux people on the team.
dialogues and DE utilities look inconsistent to eachother. spacing and sizes of things, including icons and fonts look not that well tought out, making the whole thing feel off, kind of cheap or amateurish.
this might have changed since i gave it a real try but it lacks many small qol features like disabling some indicators i dont use and other assorted small stuff many othet des implement.
i find this type of stuff is common among smaller des

I settled for vanilla Ubuntu many centuries ago and liked it enough to stick with it. Been feeling like trying other stuff again just to see how things have been developing, hence my interest. Get that slightly greener grass under my feet for a lil bit.
So long as its something reasonably mature that won’t get in my way. I’m inclined to try Budgie again. Plasma 6, Cosmic and a couple of others are looking nice too.
I don’t know what it is, and neither the article nor the Budgie website seem keen on explaining it.
Its a Desktop Environment
So it’s the equivalent of KDE or Gnome?
yup

And this is why I’m confused.
Is it? That’s not listed as an option here alongside Endravour, Fedora, etc.

Maybe this would help:
Budgie 10.9 Desktop
deleted by creator
That is correct, but it doesn’t explain what Budgie is.

Literally the first paragraph:
The Budgie desktop team announced today the release and general availability of Budgie 10.9 as the latest version of this modern desktop environment for GNU/Linux distributions.
If you need more than “modern desktop environment for GNU/Linux distributions” to figure out what the project is, then you’re probably not the target audience for 9to5Linux.
no harm in onboarding him though
im happy to have new people learn our terminology and join us, because its freeing as fuck and fun as hell if thats your thing.

I really like Budgie, but I can’t use it without panels for each monitor. Version 11 can’t come soon enough.
I’m a KDE user, but had a great experience using Budgie. I’m glad this software is an option for people.
