What's your Budgie Machine?

#1

All of us use Ubuntu Budgie on different machines with different combos CPU/Motherboard/GPU combo, be it desktop or laptop.

In a way to better understand how Ubuntu Budgie behaves on different configurations in regards to compatibility, we would like to know on which machine and with what configuration are you using it :slight_smile:

Here’s mine:

  • I’ll be upgrading to Ryzen 7 3000 when it hits the market

I’ve seen a couple of issues with freezing up, but overall it’s been very smooth. Ubuntu Budgie
is about 30% more lean than Windows 10.

Huawei Matebook D (2018)

  • AMD Ryzen 5 2500u: 2.0-3.6GHZ, 4 cores, 8 threads, 4MB L3 cache
  • AMD Radeon Vega (Raven) graphics
  • 8GB RAM
  • Screen size: 14"
  • Screen resolution: 1920x1080
  • Ubuntu Budgie 64-bit (of course)
  • Windows 10 dual boot
  • Windows 10 in Virtualbox with 4GB RAM

I’ve had issuea with freezing up and the touchpad being unresponsive when waking up. I’m hopeful the Linux Kernel 5.2 updates will resolve the issue.

Very nice, fast and super light machine. Only the microphone does not work, but i’ve decided to live with it. This is not a Budgie, i don’t think even Ubuntu problem.
Having switched from Mac, the only thing i find a problem is that hibernation does not work with lid close/open.

Nothing special. It came with 4GB of RAM, but I wanted a little more for those times when I needed to use VirtualBox for one thing or another (usually for booting into Win 7 to use Access for business miles in a DB I created so many years ago, so long ago, I have since forgotten how I created all the forms and reports, etc.), so I maxed it out.
