ubuntu-budgie-welcome0.27.3

On the first login after installing Ubuntu Budgie, ubuntu-budgie-welcome opens a greeting screen that introduces the desktop and points new users toward useful choices. It explains the official Ubuntu flavour, recommends software, and makes installing several common applications easier. Developed by Ubuntu budgie, it is an open-source System Tools application for Linux.

The welcome portal gathers drivers, curated themes, and Budgie applets in one place, helping users adapt the desktop to their preferences. Its applet collection includes Light Pad for an application dashboard, a weather display, panel access to disks and locations without opening Nemo, and a screencasting tool. Other options provide different wallpapers for workspaces through Raven Widget, quick notes with reminders, management of multiple network connections, and controls for screen brightness and keyboard backlight.

The program is intended for people arriving from other operating systems as well as programmers and everyday desktop users, while existing Ubuntu Budgie users can use it to personalize their environment. One-click update access helps keep the system current, with Ubuntu Budgie users able to choose between moving to the next release or waiting for a larger upgrade.

The current version is 0.27.3, and it requires Linux with snapd on x86_64 (amd64) hardware. It works within Ubuntu Budgie, the community-developed distribution that combines the Ubuntu core with the Budgie Desktop Environment.
