    You using budgie as your DE or what? I’m looking for a new family friendly distro to replace windows (by request believe it or not) and this one keeps coming up.

      But Budgie is amazing. It’s slightly lower on resources, easier to configure, and more user-friendly than GNOME. Most of the apps a average user would need are there, and they are all in their latest version, updated every Friday.

        I don’t know if Budgie is “more user-friendly” that GNOME, from my experience, I’ve found the opposite to be true. Although, Budgie is probably easier to adapt to if you are coming from Windows.

          I think that it personally it is more user friendly. GNOME is very different ways of doing things, and while that is one of it’s strengths, it makes it feel unlike anything I’ve ever used and less user friendly to me.

            It’s one of those things that varies a lot from person-to person. Maybe GNOME’s activity-oriented workflow suits you better, or maybe you prefer a task bar. The great thing about Linux is that we have these options!

              Agreed. Personally tiling is my thing, but I do love GNOME. Even if it doesn’t fit my workflow, I do appreciate all DE’s and think the more choice the better.
