Budgie Desktop

The Budgie Desktop is a feature-rich, modern desktop designed to keep out the way of the user.

Installing Budgie Desktop

To use the Budgie Desktop, add this to your configuration.nix:

services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.desktopManager.budgie.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.lightdm.enable = true;

Excluding some Budgie Desktop applications from the default install

Not all applications that come pre-installed with the Budgie Desktop are desirable for everyone to have on their machines. There's a way to edit configuration.nix to exclude these kinds of packages, for example as follows:

environment.gnome.excludePackages = with pkgs; [
  mate.mate-terminal
  vlc
];
