Ubuntu Budgie Welcome - Gaming - Testing of ubuntu-budgie-welcome (edge) 0.16.9
General Feedback on PPAs
I noticed that when a software that requires PPA is removed using Ubuntu Budgie Welcome - Gaming, relevant PPA is not actually purged from system. Not sure if this intentional, but I wanted to point it out.
Gaming Clients
Lutris
-
Lutris reports correct status of client if installed or not. Install and removal work fine.
-
“?” icon works fine, shows correct page with software info.
Steam
- Steam always shows green to install, even if already installed in the system. Rebooting does not fix.
I believe the issue is because a manual download of steam-launcher deb is used, instead of using the package “steam” from ubuntu repositories. Recommend to switch to steam from ubuntu repositories.

Polychromatic & OpenRazer Feedback/Recommendations on removal task
-
It seems not all packages are removed, recommend manually do: sudo apt remove polychromatic-* openrazer-*
-
manually removing user from group and relogging works fine:
sudo gpasswd -d $USER plugdev. Further investigation needed to understand why install script is unable to take care of this.

Since CoreCTRL PPA brings graphics stack updates, it might be worth making it clear somehow before install. This could be a very good PPA to install for those that want latest graphics stack for AMD. Or something some users don’t want in their system.
