Budgie Desktop is available across a wide variety of Linux-based and Unix-like operating systems. Choose the experience that fits your needs best.
The current stable release series, featuring Wayland-only support.
Get Budgie Desktop out-of-the-box with these operating systems. Some offer curated experiences with additional customizations, others provide a near-stock Budgie experience.
None of these operating systems are viewed as being the "reference" for Budgie Desktop. We want you to pick the OS that fits your needs best, with Budgie along for the ride.
Budgie 11 is a ground-up reimplementation using Qt6 and C++. Once our core components reach a previewable state, we will automatically generate preview ISOs so you can experience Budgie 11 without needing to compile anything yourself.
Preview ISOs will be available to our OpenCollective backers first, then made available more broadly after a short delay. This is our way of thanking those who support Budgie's development.
