Budgie is the default desktop of SolusOS, written from scratch. Besides a more modern design, Budgie can emulate the look and feel of the GNOME 2 desktop.

At this time Budgie is heavily under development, and is hosted on GitHub.

## Installation

Install the budgie-desktop-gitAUR package. budgie-gitAUR provides the Budgie media player.

For additional settings, install gnome-tweak-tool.

### Starting

Choose Budgie Desktop session from a display manager of choice, or modify xinitrc to include Budgie Desktop:

    ~/.xinitrc

    exec budgie-session
