Dolphin, brisk is the Solus-developed menu for MATE.

Budgie desktop menu is different from Brisk.

Well, brisk is the one I tried. I may have compiled it don't remember. as I recall it worked on both mate and budgie at the time. its been awhile, Ikey doherty was still at solus at the time.

I can say I have had no crashes with budgie on MX19 ahs. The install from MXPI was dead simple. The setup arrived as a working desktop. It seems to co-exist well with xfce. I'd recommend giving it a spin @Adams-3.

Hi, I like Budgie as Ubuntu budgie a lot. I have Ubuntu Budgie on my daily use Asus.

I have MXLinux running on my old HPTouch PC. Very happy with it. And now I installed the Budgie desktop.

Want to see what it looks like before I install MXLinux on my daily use laptop and add the Budgie environment. But how can I start it up? There is nu session choice when entering my password at login.

Just install Budgie from MX Package Installer. (You'll see in Popular Apps tab)

Then if it's not existing on login menu (upper-right on the bar) :

From Menu, open "LightDM GTK+ Greeter: settings" => "Panel" tab and add the item "Sessions Menu".

Next time you boot, click that on login screen.

I found it in the upper panel. But now I cannot find how to go back.

Choose the "Default Session" for Xfce.

Okay. Found it. First logg-off. then make the choise in the panel again.
Had some issues with the background. Just plain collor, no pictures. Maybe a hardware problem.

At login screen or on desktop after login ?

(If after installing the new DE and logging in, that's normal as you selected nothing yet for that DE.)

-- these DEs are NOT memory hogs. As a matter of fact, gnome & budgie use 10% LESS (yes, Less) RAM on my machine than xfce4 uses.
-- gnome & Budgie are only about 5-10% heavier than dwm, hlwm, bspwm, openbox
The basic setup/installs of gnome Basic and budgie idle at 780-790MB of RAM on my platfform; xfce4 idles at 880-890MB of RAM.

Two years ago when I changed from Xfce to Gnome, I came to the same conclusion. And the setup is easy.
