Bugdie уходит с GTK на Qt и KDE Frameworks

В Budgie 11 планируется использовать Qt 6 и библиотеки из проекта KDE Frameworks. Такая миграция разработчиками уже опробована на примере Budgie Display Configurator.
Также планируется введение модульной архитектуры, состоящей из Budgie Core и Budgie Desktop. Цель модульной архитектуры – возможность использования окружения на планшетах, телевизорах, устройствах виртуальной реальности, смартфонах и пр. Budgie Core будет отвечать за запуск компонентов в зависимости от типа устройства и библиотеки для организации вывода информации, поддержки языков и локализации, управления энергопотреблением, взаимодействием с устройствами ввода и конфигурирования. Budgie Desktop будет предоставлять функционал графической оболочки: компоновка окон, управление рабочими столами, построение интерфейса. Планируются также кроссплатформенные темы и возможность замены компонентов и расширений, таких как композитный сервер, система вывода уведомлений и панели.
