Luke: your thoughts, if any, on that new Budgie desktop environment? I tried it, it's not very configurable (yet?) and it doesn't work with the USB touchpad mouse on my homemade laptop (well, OK, it does on the lock screen but not once you're logged in, weird), but it's sort of attractive and I *almost* like the simplicity of it. (It's a *little* too simple for me, right now.) They've even got an official Ubuntu flavor, now -- I realize that's not exactly a glowing recommendation in these parts; I'm mentioning it entirely because of what it means in terms of popularity amongst the general userbase. Budgie might be one to "stick a pin in" as one of the talking heads on my TV would say... I think it's a potential rising star.
I read recently that there are plans to move to using Qt5 going forward too, so make of that what you will.
