Hi,

that « post » popped up in my « news feed » today and really wonder if it’s a joke : no source nor links and mistakes on names :

> **[Budgie Desktop 11 Ditching GNOME in Favor of Qt – Linux Hint](https://linuxhint.com/budgie-desktop-qt-replace-gnome/)**

Nevertheless that would make a big piece of change…

( Ok I may have found the answer : it’s old and obsolete news, probably « updated » accidentally ).

Indeed … looks like someone republished an article from several years ago.

Very much inaccurate.
