Guest7 | Hello. I plan to migrate away from Gnome(Ubuntu) due to them neglecting X11 support in mutter and I understand Budgie has also migrated away from mutter. I would like to know if there are any plans to return to mutter in the future. | 13:48 |

fossfreedom | Guest7: no plans to return to using mutter | 14:01 |
Guest7 | unfortunately, I saw that you plan to drop X11 support in 25.10 :( | 14:02 |
fossfreedom | indeed - kind of forced on us due to retirement of X11 development by the current maintainers (red hat) | 14:02 |
Guest7 | but it's going to be maintained by Ubuntu until at least 2029, because it's in 24.04 | 14:03 |
Guest7 | even more with ESM | 14:04 |
fossfreedom | sure - as you say - thats 24.04 - and that will continue using our mutter fork called magpie | 14:05 |
Guest7 | so will I be able to stay on 24.04 and get newer Budgie versions or will that not be possible? | 14:07 |
Guest7 | It's not clear to me whether Budgie versions are coupled to Ubuntu versions. | 14:08 |
fossfreedom | in a stable release, the community will receive support as well as security and stability software fixes. Brand new versions of software isn't the target for a LTS. | 14:11 |
Guest7 | thank you for your time | 14:12 |
ElkMountain | Hey! Is anyone active? | 17:45 |
fossfreedom | o/ | 17:46 |
ElkMountain | Oh lordie lord. My bad fossfreedom I think I just found the solution to my problem! | 17:46 |
fossfreedom | lol ... well that deserves a yay! | 17:47 |
ElkMountain | I was trying to customize the date and time format for the time in the bottom right. I didn't find it in the Budgie Settings, only 24 hours, but I did find it under clock in Budgie Desktop Settings. | 17:48 |
fossfreedom | 👍 | 17:50 |
ElkMountain | fossfreedom, Haha! I was just looking around about WireGuard support on Budgie and found your contributor comments from last January. Thanks for working so hard on all this! | 19:03 |
