**I must say, though, that my first impression was a bit of YAUR: Yet Another Ubuntu Remix. I was dubious about the additional value of having yet another spinoff of the Ubuntu system, complete with yet another CD image, yet another web page, etc. At times, the multiplicity of projects in this area makes one question whether available resources, i.e. people’s time, is being efficiently used. | **I must say, though, that my first impression was a bit of YAUR: Yet Another Ubuntu Remix.

**Once the appropriate image has been downloaded – in my case, the amd64 ISO image of 17.04 – it can be written to a USB drive and booted in the usual manner. There are no hiccups here. The desktop comes up fairly quickly, which is certainly a point in this distribution’s favour. | **Once the appropriate image has been downloaded – in my case, the amd64 ISO image of 17.04 – it can be written to a USB drive and booted in the usual manner.

Gimp was not installed by default, and neither were some of my personal preferences for music such as VNC and Clementine. But, as usual, installation is just a terminal apt command away, or the Software application that is there if a GUI is preferred. The Plank dock is configured to stay always visible at the left edge of the screen, and most other bits and pieces are what you would expect from a derivative of Ubuntu Gnome.** | Gimp was not installed by default, and neither were some of my personal preferences for music such as VNC and Clementine.

Similarities go very far. When tested on a laptop with a high-resolution (HiDPI) screen, Budgie displays no immediately accessible options to adapt screen resolution.

- | When using Ubuntu Budgie, the user has a general feeling that the project’s developers have been trying hard to make the user’s life easy. Most items are easy to locate, even for newcomers to the GNU/Linux universe. A specific application - Budgie Welcome - has been written and presents us with a welcome screen that, probably, will give such users a bit of a hand the first times they use the system. A complete notification panel is available, scrolling in from the right edge of the screen. | + | When using Ubuntu Budgie, the user has a general feeling that the project’s developers have been trying hard to make the user’s life easy.

- | However, each time I ran into a minor niggle – as are bound to arise in a relatively new product such as this one – I found that the easiest solution was almost invariably through the terminal and a quick command, instead of trying to figure out a possible fix in the desktop’s menus. Such a fix was not always there to be found, either. This is the reason that makes me somewhat doubtful if this distribution, in its current state, can be recommended to first-time users or people without some experience of managing a GNU/Linux desktop based on GTK 3. | + | Nous voici, précisément, au point fondamental de cet article.

- | Experienced users should be fine, though, and will welcome the general sense of ease and the lightness of operation of Budgie, compared to the full Gnome Shell for instance. With this said, the project is certainly one to be aware of, since it is still a relatively new distribution. Over time, I have hopes it gains some of the polish that a more seasoned distribution such as Linux Mint has to offer. If it does manage to last sufficiently long, it may very well become one of my personal favourites. | + | Il y a vraiment beaucoup de similarités.

- | As a final thought, I would like to end by saying that at several times during this test, I have been pondering on the similarities between Budgie and Gnome Shell. In actual fact, Budgie is perhaps what the Gnome Classic mode should have been from the onset: based on the GTK 3 libraries, but fairly light on resources. Most of their characteristics are similar, so the work to be done to convert either of these two desktops into a fairly satisfying lookalike for the now defunct Unity should not be unmanageable. In fact, it would perhaps make sense for the project leaders at Ubuntu, Ubuntu Gnome and Ubuntu Budgie, to come together and have a quiet chat together - if they have not done so already. | + | Lorsqu' |
