This week we released Budgie Control Center 2.1.0, added sloppy focus support for the upcoming Budgie 10.10.1, and refreshed our website. Meanwhile, we've begun early exploration with Mir for Budgie 11 and started refinements to the shell's panel logic.
This Chirp details new Budgie Control Center settings and 10-series maintenance, alongside Budgie 11 progress regarding our approach to configuration, architectural foundations, and early bootstrapping.
2025 was a year of significant progress for Budgie Desktop, as we finalized much of our efforts in our Wayland migration, to bring Budgie 10 to a close and enable us to focus our efforts on Budgie 11. Time to dive into our State of the Budgie to recap our efforts in 2025 and the goals for 2026.
