Ubuntu Budgie plans for Raspberry Pi

Hi folks,

https://sourceforge.net/projects/budgie-remix/files/budgie-raspi/hirsute-budgie-preinstalled-desktop-arm64%2Braspi.img.xz/download

introducing our tech-preview - this is a first public technical preview of our Ubuntu Budgie raspberry pi image. It is based on 21.04.

It is pre-alpha - just for testing folks and to get feedback. It includes our unstable PPA as well which includes stuff we are testing ourselves.

Just download and write to a SD Card via Disks or raspi-imager. After installation and reboot you will see our budgie-arm-config app. Again this is a test version showing our thoughts.

First tab sets up the layout for UB - default desktop, a compact layout and a mini layout depending on the screen resolution you are using with your raspi 4

Second tab is our overclock - its intention is to allow you to overclock your raspi - @samlane is working through the issue here so its visual only - in the future hopefully this will work based on pibootctl.

The final tab is remote connection tab - this should be functional - allows you to connect to your raspi via VNC, XRDP and SSH


So let us know your thoughts - the apps -

  1. are they all needed?
  2. should some be substituted with apps that work better with a raspi?
  3. are there anything else that should be included on a raspi?

Known issues - the graphics are slightly glitchy - this is because hirsute itself is pre-alpha
