Budgie 11 Desktop Environment Will Be Ported to Qt 6, Development Kicks Off (9to5linux.com)

Now that Budgie 10.10 is out as the last chapter in the Budgie 10 series, the devs behind this modern Linux desktop environment have kicked off the development of the next major release, Budgie 11.

Budgie developer Joshua Strobl shares with us today some interesting details about Budgie 11, such as the fact that the upcoming desktop environment will be written in the Qt 6 open-source application framework, and some steps have already been taken in this direction with the Budgie 10.10 release.

The devs already wrote Budgie Desktop Services, the beating heart of Budgie 11, in Qt 6, and they plan on writing the Budgie Display Configurator in Qt6/Kirigami as well. The end goal here is to make Budgie more modular, allowing users and integrators alike the freedom to fully configure the desktop environment.

@Eldritch @boredsquirrel most qt apps don't have AT-SPI support so an unfortunate day for people in need of accessibility tooling that use budgie

Fair point. Also an issue with Wayland ATM too iirc. Hopefully something that sees increased attention now that it's gone flagship.
