Community project: Ubuntu Budgie Gaming

Quick update on Budgie Welcome Version 0.16.9

Thanks to @HellBringer419 and @fossfreedom we are now in great shape.

  • I have been testing all Gaming Clients and Gaming Tools and I have not found a single issue.
  • OpenRazer+Polychromatic now automatically adds and removes user to/from plugdev group. Also all needed packages are removed.
  • Only remaining issue, which is actually a minor annoyance, is that Steam client is not detected as installed, so our Budgie Welcome has a green icon to install, even if Steam is already installed and working. Once this is fixed, I believe we can focus on more testing and release.
  • Other additional items such as auto detect hardware and offer installation of additional tools, not sure if we can do it in time. I already did my homework on vulkan/wine and other components, but I would need @HellBringer419 and @fossfreedom or other devs help to actually get it done.

Thank you all for your great work!
