FESCO Committee (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), which is responsible for the technical part of the distribution of Fedora Linux, approved Creating official ISO-images with graphic membranes of Budgie and SWAY. To accompany packages and assemblies with Budgie and Sway, the groups budgie sig and SWAY SIG . Packages for installing these environment are already available in the repository of the current stable release of Fedora, but starting with Fedora Linux 38, the possibility of using ready-made ISO images will appear. Fedora Budgie Spin и Fedora Sway Spin will complement the collection of assemblies Fedora Spins , which currently presents alternative working media, such as KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, LXQT, MATE, LXDE, I3 and Soas ( sugar on a stick ).
environment budgie is based on GNOME technology and GNOME Shell (in the next BUDGIE 11 branch, they plan to separate functionality desktop from a layer providing visualization and output of information). To control the windows, the window manager Budgie Window Manager (BWM), which is an expanded modification of the base plug -in Mutter, is involved. The basis of Budgie is a panel close to organizing work to classic desktop panels. All the elements of the panel are applets, which allows you to flexibly configure the composition, change the placement and replace the implementation of the main elements of the panel to your taste.
sway built using the Wayland protocol and is completely compatible with the mosaic window manager i3 and panel i3bar . Sway is developing as a modular project built on top of the library wlroots , which contains all the basic primitives to organize the work of the composite manager. For the arrangement of a full -fledged user environment, related components are offered: sweyidle (a background process with the implementation of the Protocol KDE IDLE), sowylock (screenwriter), mako (notifications manager),
