News : Fedora Budgie Spin intro

Today, I saw this good environment and will test with Fedora server on virtualbox because I don't have hardware to test it.

You can see more about this with the Fedora Spin.

The Fedora Budgie Spin showcases the Budgie Desktop, a feature-rich, modern desktop designed to keep out the way of the user. Budgie Desktop uses common desktop design metaphors while offering users sophisticated functionality such as its Raven widget and notification center, and an approachable method to personalization.

Fedora 38: First official release of Fedora Budgie Spin was on 2023.

Fedora 39–44: Continuous updates, better Wayland support, and alignment with upstream Budgie.

Fedora 44 Beta: Ships with Budgie 10.10 and improved integration.

The basic commands for install this fedora package with gdm.

$sudo dnf5 install @budgie-desktop-environment
$sudo dnf5 install budgie-desktop
$sudo dnf5 install @base-x gdm
$sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
$sudo systemctl enable gdm --now
$sudo reboot

NOTE: If these commands not work then you need to make one update with all packages.

Fedora 32 : Change display manager.

The display manager is a graphical login manager which starts a session, simply asks username and password to login desktop.
On Fedora, you can choose for example GDM (Gnome Display Manager), SDDM (Simple Desktop Display Manager), LXDM (LXDE Display Manager), LightDM, KDM (KDE Display Manager), XDM (X Display Manager).
I like the old gdm display manager, is good and works great.
If you want to change it then use these commands:

[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install gdm
...
Complete!
[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl disable lightdm 
[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl enable gdm
Failed to enable unit: File /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service already exists and is a symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/system/sddm.service.
[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl disable sddm.service 
Removed /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service.
[root@desk mythcat]# systemctl enable gdm
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service.
[root@desk mythcat]# reboot

If you have problems with gdm display manager then you can read about settings here.
The configuration file can be found in this file:

[root@desk mythcat]# cat /etc/gdm/custom.conf 
# GDM configuration storage
