"After following my writing long enough, you probably know that I'm a big fan of aesthetics on my desktops. Part of the reason for my love of a pretty desktop is that Linux has spoiled me in that regard. For decades, I've been customizing Linux UIs until they look and feel exactly right. For me. Sometimes those tweaks are quick and easy, while other times they take a while. No matter the challenge, Linux is up to it."
"Both of these distributions are based on Ubuntu and could even (with a bit of work) be made to look nearly identical. But you probably wouldn't want to do that, as each carries its own personality. Budgie is fun, and Pop!_OS is serious. Before you think it, I'm not saying these distributions are so shallow that looks are all that matter. No. Both Ubuntu Budgie and Pop!_OS can be used to get real work done. But which one of these desktop distributions is right for you?"
"About five or so years ago, my previous System76 machine started dying on me. At first, I thought it was the OS, so I decided to move away from Pop!_OS. My choice of distribution? Ubuntu Budgie. I'd known about the Budgie desktop for a long time and really enjoyed its fun approach to the desktop, so I made the switch. There was zero regret."
Ubuntu Budgie and Pop!_OS are Ubuntu-based desktop distributions that prioritize aesthetics and strong performance. Ubuntu Budgie offers a playful, easily customizable Budgie desktop that enables rapid visual and workflow adjustments, appealing to users who enjoy a lively interface. Pop!_OS presents a more serious, polished environment focused on productivity. Both distributions are fully capable for real work and available to download and install at no cost. A reported migration from Pop!_OS to Ubuntu Budgie after hardware issues led to swift customization and satisfaction. Each distribution carries its own personality, and choice depends on whether a user prefers fun or seriousness.
