26.04 wayland testing - are you brave enough?

ok - with todays ISO we basically have our release for 26.04.

Obviously bug fixes galore.

The key things to note for those how have been installed prior to last week:

  1. Crystal-dock out of the box configured
  2. Change from lightdm/slick-greeter to SDDM/our own greeter
  3. Top-Bar reworked
  4. Menu now has favourites
  5. Showtime is now a raven widget

From a bug fix to-do POV:

  1. working on a fix for setting the keyboard on first install - need to-do a fresh install to confirm what I believe is happening
  2. complete the upstreaming crystal-dock support in budgie - hide the 1px visible line at the bottom of the screen when an app is full-screen
  3. add to welcome layout support specifically for resolute - budgie-extras-daemon has been re-enabled in budgie-extras over the weekend to include stopping/starting crystal-dock
  4. Documenting how people need to identify their primary monitor i.e. the one that panels appear on. A stretch goal will be to actually fix this in budgie-desktop but this will mean also a fix in weathershow and showtime to appear depending upon how budgie-desktop-services says the primary monitor is rather than Gtk/GDK saying what it thinks.
  5. Translation support for the new greeter
  6. anything else that we agree is “serious” or “critical” found between now and beta. “nice to have” will be on a “how easy is it to implement” basis.

The greeter has some default images we have created - 256x256 png format.

We would love folk to find/create their own “avatars” to replace these. Lets see your creations!
