How is it? I've wanted to give it a try.
It’s fantastic! It’s worth it for Budgie alone. There are some minor comforts I miss from large distros like Debian, but very rarely does it ever prove to be a problem I can’t get around.
I’ve had a few applications I wanted to use where it was only distributed for Ubuntu and/or Fedora, so I’m stuck either compiling from source or figuring out an alternative, but it’s only happened a few times. Everything else about it is very straightforward and I’d compare the ease of use to a very small step above Ubuntu.
Budgie isn’t a fraction as customizable as KDE is, but out of the box it’s very visually appealing so as long as you like the way it looks in screenshots it shouldn’t bother you.
Im a gnome user, never really liked kde. Ive never used budgie, I'll have to give Solus a try!
