Budgie Desktop 10.10.2 | Fastfetch 2.60 | Soplos Beta 1.0.4 | Senpai 20260306

The Budgie desktop project has released Budgy 10.10.2, the second maintenance update in the 10.10 series. One of the most significant improvements is the lab bridge, which connects Budgy desktop to the lab guand compositor, allowing users to configure lab window decoration themes directly in budgy desktop settings, enabling independent customization of window decorations. Keyboard and local handling have been reworked as well. The bridge now uses the free desktop localal 1 interface from systemdocal as the primary source for keyboard layout configuration. If unavailable, budgy falls back to / etc/default/keyboard and then to a US layout if needed. Plus, the environment configuration file is no longer rewritten at each login, so user modifications persist between sessions. Regarding touchpad configuration, the bridge now synchronizes touchpad scroll settings from Gnome configuration into lab configuration files. Budgy also allows the left-handed setting for touchpads to be configured independently from the mouse setting, addressing a long-standing limitation for users who prefer left-handed trackpad behavior. The icon task list component receives a significant update with the new application matcher class, which uses multiple strategies to match application windows with their corresponding desktop entries. Additional icon task list fixes improve window identification and activation. Windows in the task list popover are now tracked by an exact window reference rather than a class ID, preventing incorrect removal when only one instance exists. The update also corrects grouped application behavior with the show all windows onclick option and resolves a bug affecting the middleclick action for launching new instances. Moreover, budgey menu now adapts more consistently across screen resolutions after unnecessary scaling logic was removed. The compositor now handles scaling directly, preventing the stubby menu effect that could occur after scaling down. In addition, menu height is now set to about 35% of the available work area with limits between 480 and 600 pixels and application categories are now localare and sorted correctly for international users. The show desktop feature now uses a proper debus interface. The default super plusd shortcut behaves as expected and budgy tracks which Windows were minimized when the desktop was shown. When toggling back, only those windows are restored, preventing previously minimized windows from reappearing unexpectedly. The screenshot tool now retains the custom save path, allowing users to keep their preferred screenshot directory without reconfiguring it each time. Another usability fix improves dialogue focus behavior. The run and power dialogues now work correctly with sloppy focus and mouse focus modes. Instead of disappearing immediately when focus shifts, the dialogues remain visible until the cursor moves over them. Finally, as expected, Budgy10.10.2 includes several bug fixes across the desktop. Icon task list scaling issues have been resolved by removing manual scaling factors, allowing Wayand to handle DPI scaling natively. Oncreen display notifications now appear above full screen applications after being moved to the overlay layer. The Raven notification panel's fade in animation has also been corrected. Fast fetch, a popular tool among Linux users for showcasing a sleek summary of system information right in the terminal, has just launched version 2.60. This release adds support for detecting the Z editor version. Fast fetch now identifies Zed installations and displays their version with other system details. The update also detects MOSS packages used in Aaron OS on Linux systems. Moreover, customization options have been expanded with a new CWD variable for custom title formatting. This allows FastFetch to display the current working directory in its output. Window manager detection also receives several updates on Windows systems. Fast fetch can now detect the Kamaribbei, FancyWm, and GlazeWM window managers. Meanwhile, Mac OS users gain support for retrieving window manager plug-in version information. On Linux, FastFetch now detects window managers more efficiently in LXQT environments. OpenBSD users benefit from new support for retrieving the executable path. Fast fetch 2.60 6 also resolves several bugs and stability issues. The update fixes a potential segmentation fault from dreerencing and negative index, corrects temperature sensor parsing to accept only string values and ensures accurate reporting of keyboard devices on Linux. Several memory leaks have been addressed, including those related to debus connection handling and the OpenGL EGL context life cycle. The release also corrects version detection for the Nyrie window manager on Fedora and includes internal cleanups and optimizations. Finally, the release updates and expands FastFet's collection of distribution logos. New logos have been added for Renge OS and Emabontis and the Artics Linux and Linux Mint logos have been refreshed.
