The key focus for the team for this cycle has been the conversion of our distribution to a Wayland-based distribution. We have been working closely with our fellow Buddies Of Budgie maintainers. Excellent progress has been made towards this huge effort. We have been testing via a PPA for both 25.04 and 25.10 during this cycle. We will be continuing this for the early part of 26.04 until all the new packages have been integrated in the repository. Note that we intend to ship version 10.10 of Budgie Desktop as a stable release for 26.04; this will be Wayland only. For 25.10 Budgie Desktop is X.Org Server-based and this PPA will give 25.10 and 26.04 users an easy way to try and give feedback, help fix issues. More information soon on how you can help with this testing effort. We have uplifted to a new version of Budgie Desktop, version 10.9.3 which is compatible with GNOME 49.
