No idea. I tried it a couple months ago on Debian (I think I even posted the screenshot here in the show off thread). . . And just a couple days ago on EOS.
In both scenarios I was ALSO prompted with at login for GNOME and both times I was able to log into a fully functioning GNOME experience.
I don’t discredit your argument, but in real world application, that did not happen for me. And since I based my view as to what I experienced and not the theoretical experience you’re offering. . . Well, you get it.
So, when I install budgie, I also got a complete GNOME environment as well.
@fbodymechanic very interesting maybe a typo or to in the installer don’t know, I only install everything the Arch way. Apart from distro testing then its the distro way I just installed Garuda KDE it does not pickup bluetooth seems strange its arch after all no problems with Enos KDE, or any the GTK Arch based.
You do know what i mean I’m a Arch user, Enos is a GUI with a selection of desktops, so its easy to pull in the whole Gnome desktop, I install the base system and add software totally by CLI, that is the Arch way its not swearing its the way that works for me.
Why duplicate what i had already stated earlier
That is not what this says is it or is somebody splitting hairs or maybe thinking that
It looks complete. I dunno. I was busy using budgie since that was the thing I meant to install. It was just an interesting thing I’ve noted in the few installs I’ve done of it. Sounds like you’re splitting hairs. I never went package by package to see if it’s literally everything. That would be a huge waste of my time. If you’re so hard on about doing things the Arch way - why are you even here? (Seriously, it seems counter intuitive to be at a distro if you have no need/want for it other than to tell them it’s not the “Arch way.” We already know that)
There’s no user “gideon” registered at Garuda, but you’re testing there too you said. I was seeing if you told them similar things.
No, EndeavourOS uses the same repositories as Arch for its Desktop Environments. There is no difference between Budgie on Arch or EndeavourOS.
In fact, there is no difference between any package on Arch and on EndeavourOS, except for the 45 packages that are presently in the endeavouros repo and absent from Arch repos.
And yes, you also install a functional GNOME desktop when you install Budgie on Arch (and EndeavourOS). Dependencies clearly show that, as proven above by @dalto.
For goodness sake i’m not stupid I’ve used arch since 2004 and been installing ENOs since the project since it started
ENos Arch with a installer adds nothing to Arch any user could not achieve on their own, bar a nice forum complete with a shame the old dog has gone i liked him.
You are perfectly right i use my other user name I was one of the 1st to resister on their forum , no i’m a Garuda user used it long before the forum, Dragonised is on a 2nd machine Arch Gnome on my main machine, Garuda needs constant installs to test new ideas but to be honest i don’t give much feedback on my desktop its mainly faultless
Say you have a clean Arch install (no desktop environment, just the TTY, installed the Arch WayTM), and you decide to install Budgie. You do it using pacman like this:
sudo pacman -S budgie-desktop
right?
Well, this will automatically also install GNOME on your Arch computer. This is what @fbodymechanic is saying.
The same is true on EndeavourOS, just like on Arch. Exactly the same thing, in fact.
That’s it. My point was nothing is perfect. That was just the particular thing I chose to poke fun at in budgie. It was supposed to be more funny than serious.
You were persistently wrong and, even worse, you were correcting people who were right. I simply felt the desire to point that out and put the final nail in the coffin of your mistake
shame the old dog has gone i liked him.
