Oh, wait, I am an idiot, he already re- posted.

@andrew.46 think this one askubuntu.com/a/1429987/72216 deserves an undelete. The fact that he is the author doesn't change the fact that it seems a fair attempt to answer the question.

...in a glance.

@BeastOfCaerbannog Thanks for the edit, but really prefer having it including the header, to indicate there's no noise in it.
Jun 12, 2020 22:21
Sleep well!
Jun 12, 2020 22:21
Need to go sleep, have to get up terribly early. Hope to see you around.
Jun 12, 2020 22:19
Hehe, don't speak it very well, but understand
Jun 12, 2020 22:18
Sure
Jun 12, 2020 22:18
Hehe
Jun 12, 2020 22:17
Oops
Jun 12, 2020 22:16
Near Heidelberg it was?
Jun 12, 2020 22:15
:(
Jun 12, 2020 22:14
They can't let you pay the full damage can they?
Jun 12, 2020 22:13
Crap!
Jun 12, 2020 22:12
Where do you live?
Jun 12, 2020 22:12
Shoot.
Jun 12, 2020 22:11
Oh nooo. Definitely?
Jun 12, 2020 22:11
How are you?
Jun 12, 2020 22:11
...But I am fine!
Jun 12, 2020 22:10
Yeah, having mixed feelings to put it mildly.
Jun 12, 2020 22:10
The Manjaro/Arch community adopted part of it, but not all if I remember correctly, as well as the Solus Community.
Jun 12, 2020 22:08
Correct.
Jun 12, 2020 22:06
Budgie Desktop is a product of Solus, Ubuntu Budgie is Ubuntu + Budgie Desktop. All the productivity, expo, (many) applets, automatic shortcut daemon, Window Shuffler etc etc is what we made.
Jun 12, 2020 22:03
...And is available to install. There are fundamental differences here and there though, not everything we make is packaged for Budgie Desktop alone.
Jun 12, 2020 22:02
The extras, shuffler and all comes with Ubuntu Budgie, solus Budgie is stripped from it all, although they are flirting with it
Jun 12, 2020 22:01
Note that Budgie is not Ubuntu Budgie
Jun 12, 2020 22:00
The last one is more difficult. We generally don't like wobbling etc. Nice (normal but modest) animation sure.
Jun 12, 2020 21:59
Speed is fine! Multiple desktops is fine, several tools for quick access. Especially for the last one, you MUST switch to UB. Shuffler is going into next phase, "window rules" with total control over where and how should appear, workspace, size, autotile and all.
Jun 12, 2020 21:53
...But of course you should
Jun 12, 2020 21:51
Haha, I would have to see what is KDE like these days, but I love where UB is going What setting options are important to you?
Jun 12, 2020 21:46
Oh wait, that is the one above that one.
Jun 12, 2020 21:45
Huh, did I remove the message above?
Jun 12, 2020 21:45
Hehe, so nice to play with windows.
Jun 12, 2020 21:38
The latest: keyboard only resizing couples of windows in one stroke: youtube.com/watch?v=j6mrrVpE5A0 @Fabby
Jun 12, 2020 21:34
Yeah Ubuntu Budgie. That was why I was curious if you ran shuffler or the applets, that seem to be used in the Arch and Manjaro world as well. @Fabby
Jun 12, 2020 20:35
Ages ago I ran kde I must say
Jun 12, 2020 20:34
Ah manjaro kde @fabby

@sancho.sReinstateMonicaCellio The windowmanager comes with the DE. Gnome2 -> Metacity, Gnome3 -> mutter, Unity -> mutter etc. So if I have Budgie, I know I have a (fork of) mutter.
Aug 31, 2021 15:32
@sancho.sReinstateMonicaCellio there's a bunch of options to find out stuff: askubuntu.com/a/92948/72216 (I will remove upstairs comments now)
Aug 31, 2021 15:32
@sancho.sReinstateMonicaCellio wmctrl -m I am not on metacity though.
Aug 31, 2021 15:32
@sancho.sReinstateMonicaCellio like I said, odd, the exact same version I run, with another result.

Jun 12, 2020 16:41
Ah, sorry, sorry
Jun 12, 2020 16:38
Oh wait, you weren't talking to me?
Jun 12, 2020 16:37
Then it must be me.
Jun 12, 2020 16:23
@Zanna
Jun 12, 2020 16:21
Might be a natural thing. Maybe it's me. Fact is that what happens around here and especially on Meta, I don't follow anymore. Community seems not care. If you do, got the hammered on the head.
Jun 12, 2020 16:16
After years, another generation comes along, more like "consumers". Since my presence here (ten years or so) I feel the sharp vision got more and more blurred. The lines of the drawing become more vague. Like I said, the humble ambition to create good quality content was replaced by something else.
Jun 12, 2020 16:16
Not sure, can only give how I feel, which is hardly objective. Might be a natural aging thing. In the early days of AU, there was a generation of "builders". People who had sharp what the goals were and felt highly responsible (I imagine). Some of them still are moderators.
Jun 12, 2020 15:46
@Kulfy looks ok to me.
Jun 12, 2020 15:44
Braiam used to be a highly active person on AU. Sharp as a blade. Got into quarrels a few times. I mostly disagreed with him, but loved him for his unable-to-compromise opinions. He kind of left. I guess in his edit war, old frustration came to the surface.
