History

Ubuntu Budgie started out as an unofficial community flavor in parallel with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, referred to as "budgie-remix". [2] budgie-remix 16.10 was later released by strictly following the time frame issued for Ubuntu 16.10. [3]

It was eventually recognized as an official community flavor of Ubuntu, and was rebranded as Ubuntu Budgie. [4]

In November 2017, Vincenzo Bovino was hired as the new brand and PR Manager. [5]

Ubuntu Budgie 17.04 was released in April 2017, [6] and was updated to version 17.10 in October 2017. [7]

32-bit support was deprecated from Ubuntu Budgie and Ubuntu MATE with the 18.10 release. [8]
