As title, I would install the Budgie DE but with the EndeavourOS theme as it is installed from the .iso file.
If I install it with pacman it comes with its own vanilla theme.
Is there a specific repo for the Budgie’s EndeavourOS theme?
I also think I remember it being said that there is no maintainer for Budgie.
PS: Maybe installing the Xfce theme will still work since it’s still GTK? I don’t know for sure, though. You can test it and uninstall it if it doesn’t work.
there is an Arch Budgie maintainer (works for BoB and formerly Solus) named Serebit. I don’t know how things bleed in to EOS thought, from the mothership.
OP will need budgie-desktop-view or budgie-desktop, too, after install for the Budgie experience and I don’t think there are conflicts except you will no longer be using gnome-shell. (That’s where I’m at). In fact stock install from installer, as you mention here, comes with some Budgie wallpapers but not all of them.
surprised that is post-install. one takes a lot for granted during install
indeed.. Buddies for Budgie are up and running developing Budgie It was solus that was partly unmaintained but this is alos not the case anymore..
may @anon93652015 confused this with the announcement on the Community Editions? (sway/BSPWM/Qtile/Worm) ? these are not well maintained and causwed by that we decided to stop having Communioty Editions on the ISO of EndeavourOS…
so the arch budgie maintainer does have a hand in eos? I was always confused by how much was Arch and how much was EOS, when it came to DE’s like Budgie
that was early in the 2023 and since then solus has been back, very robust, with a vengeance, best I can see.
also clearer. I never read the budgie wiki; but I did know my way around it to make the moves that I needed to make …but it’s semantics to me…
if I switch budgie wallpaper with the stock eos purple cassini…then I have eos theming. my greeter is still cassini, so eos theming. in budgie the op will still have budgie-desktop-settings, use of budgie dock, etc so that’s always budgie theming…and eos will always stay married to whatever DE is wrapped around it.so I always take the word theming with a grain of salt…DE theming and OS theming will always be married and interchangeable to me…
…that said I’ve seen some distros where Budgie does not belong at all…eos and solus the only excellent implementatons of it to me.
My musings are DE-agnositc. OS with XFCE, LXQT, etc all with have theming of both.
Well, to my understanding, EnOS doesn’t have any particular “implementation” of Budgie.
The EnOS’ Budgie Bundle (see: eos-packagelist Budgie-Desktop) consists mostly of packages from Arch repos apart from a few mentioned already above that sprinkles a bit of Purple on top of it.
I did not not know the pecking order when I mentioned the arch budgie maintainer, in fact I didn’t even know theme-only maintainer was a position (as opposed to whole DE) until now. As I mentioned earlier I don’t quite know where arch budgie ends and eos budgie begins with things but I’m learning.
Distros that provide base Arch while not maintaining DEs, packages, etc.
EnOS, Artix, etc.
→ EnOS of course has EOS welcome, themes, etc. but not much else. And Artix uses anything but systemd and has a default Artix dark theme for GTK and Qt.
Distros that provide base Arch while mostly/only maintaining themes, settings, etc.
Archcraft, XeroLinux, etc.
Distros that provide base Arch while maintaining a lot (theming, packages, settings, etc.)
Arco Linux, Garuda, etc.
PS: This is my personal assessment of these distros. They may not be completely accurate.
great!
I will say that I loved snappy Artix (whilst hopping) but did not find it as friendly as Eos and I didn’t even think they shared the same DNA til now. I think I tried the openbox version and I didn’t find a forum community.
It was a hard ‘Flavour’ to get out of my head but an easy one to pass on. I know that makes no sense.
the late Hunter S. Thompson had the best quote on ‘truth’ I ever heard: “My concern with accuracy is on a whole other level than nickels and dimes; in a word, everything.”
I had been using EnOS for about 6-8 months prior to actually joining the forum. The friendliness of a community doesn’t matter for me in terms of the distro I use. Example: I currently have two installs of Archcraft and even paid for the premium Openbox experience they offer, but I’ll probably never interact with the maintainer nor the community (if there is one).
Yep. Utterly confused.
I am not this much focused on it sometimes, but for accuracy I did remove the maintenance of DEs from Arco and Garuda. Neither of them do that, I think. But I know for certain they maintain lots of packages.
not to get too far off track but something weird happened I went to distrowatch. maybe I didn’t always see it but I saw it tonight. When I searched for a distro with the filters Rolling and Not Based On Debian (not a deb fan, I usually have Independent set)—an astounding 38 of 44 if I had to guess were Arch-based.
Some I had tried and had no idea they were Arch.
The small balance of 44 was also the cool stuff lke Mageia/Mandriva etc.
Good god I thought the linux world was saturated too much ubu/deb crap (again, not a fan) then I saw how many arch-bases there were.
loved artix. hated garuda. arco has 35 versions and pay grades and I understood none of them.
Athena, ArchBang, Cachy I want to meet you all:)!

Yeah, after Antergos left us and Borkjaro took centre stage, people (Arch users of course) quickly realised that having Manjaro be “the face of Arch” wasn’t a good idea. And so there was a boom in Arch-based distros. At least, that’s how I saw it.
Pay grades? In terms of levels of understanding? Or actual money?
I’ve never had to pay to use Arco, and I used it for an accumulation of about a year, so I’m a bit confused.
