For Ubuntu Budgie 22.10 the project team have embarked on a fundamental review of what applications we ship by default. This is primarily needed due to GNOME core apps shipping libadwaita and the inability to have such apps looking the same across the whole distro in-accordance to a users wish. If…

GNOME Calculator vs Mate-Calc [image] Mate-Calc was forked from GNOME Calculator in the early days of GNOME 3. It is maintained by the Mate Desktop team - and its a core-app for them. The issue tracker is well managed and the Debian Mate Team quickly packages their stuff. It doesn’t install tha…

Just my 2 cents here… Don’t other distributions do the same already ? Mint and Mate mostly ? Maybe an opportunity to create a common effort ?

GNOME-Calendar → drop this as a default install. For budgie-desktop the clock drop-down will no longer have a link to open the default calendar. This really removes the need for UB to ship a calendar. Since there doesn’t seem to be suitable replacements that I’m aware of my suggestion here is sim…

GNOME-Maps is currently a libhandy app. There is an issue raised to convert to Gtk4 and libadwaita. As such i dont see any further reason to ship by default since you would assume it migration will occur by the time of the next LTS. There are no replacement apps. Someone could investigate providi…

Is GNOME-Maps primarily used for the Linux phones, because it would make more sense to not have it on the desktop version of Ubuntu Budgie, because most people unless they have laptops with mobile data wouldn’t be really utilizing the maps application.

The image is libadwaita on Endevour OS Budgie . What are termed legacy apps do have a custom theme applied, but not system settings or calculator. You can also see the latest default appearance setting for upcoming Gnome versions. [image]

mate-system-monitor was forked from GNOME System Monitor in the early days of GNOME 3. It is maintained by the Mate Desktop team. The issue tracker is well managed and the Debian Mate Team quickly packages their stuff. It doesn’t install that many mate dependencies - basically translation stuff. M…

My thoughts… We live/work in a web-centric world, do we really need a desktop maps and (stand-alone) calendar app? I’ve never opened the maps app, I head straight for the browser for Google Maps or Open Street Map and have never seen anyone do otherwise. The same goes for a calendar - people using d…
