Budgie Control Center

Budgie Control Center 1.0.0 is the first release under the new Buddies Of Budgie organization! 🚀 🚀 🚀

If you would like to support our work, you can contribute financially on our OpenCollective, as well as buy official Budgie merchandise (non-EU shop here, EU shop here) with the profits from sales going directly to our OpenCollective!

Budgie Control Center is not just a reflection of our organization change for the development of our Budgie Desktop, it reflects an expansion on Budgie 10.x series with new features and re-architectures, applying the lessons learned from those into our next generation version of Budgie. Buddies of Budgie views Budgie Desktop as a platform rather than a product. Distributors of Budgie Desktop and users should not feel like their choice of theming, applications, or default styles should be at odds with the goals of the project.

Applying one of our core pillars of being a platform rather than a product, the goal with Budgie 10.6 and future releases of Budgie is to provide a macrocosm, or a minimal set of tightly coupled components, and leave the rest of the ecosystem up to the decisions and values of downstream consumers, be that distributions or end users.

This macrocosm in Budgie 10 series is currently the following:

  • Budgie Desktop
  • Budgie Desktop View: A dedicated desktop icons implementation.
  • Budgie Control Center (this repository)

We expect downstream consumers of Budgie to use following:

Budgie Desktop 10.6 introduces changes to various components which expects the aforementioned forks + versions, for example schema changes for Budgie Desktop View and opening of GNOME Control Center now opens Budgie Control Center.

Budgie Control Center is tailored for the budgie desktop; the devices & peripherals that is connected to your computer is managed by this application. The interactive graphical interface of budgie is managed through our dedicated Budgie Desktop Settings app.

Whilst Gnome Settings can and does co-exist with Budgie Control Center, the former app has capabilities that is specific to GNOME Shell. This is a fork of GNOME Control Center with various value-add such as Raven keybind support, improved fractional scaling support when supported by the operating system and and a re-organization of functionality.
