Clarification
It has come to my attention that there is a lot of confusion surrounding EvolveOS right now. I noticed this today after reading a post on Reddit. It should be made perfectly clear, that both EvolveOS and the Budgie Desktop exist solely for experimentation, with the purpose of discovering/developing new techniques and ideas with the aim of upstream integration in larger projects, such as openSUSE, GNOME, etc. Call it an oven if you will, where new ideas can be baked to be shared with other projects. A side effect of EvolveOS’s existence will be a usable distro, as a demonstration of what can be done. It is not a fork nor is it attempting to diverge any course.

Desktop: Code-name Budgie
Some people may now be wondering what we intend to use as the desktop environment in Evolve OS. If you’ve followed my recent Google+ posts, you may already know about the Budgie Desktop.

With a panel down the bottom of the screen, and a menu reminiscent of Cardapio, most users will feel at home instantly with the desktop.

Coming soon
Please note that this website is currently under construction, and as such only limited information is available right now. Also note that there is no downloadable media right now. I’d personally like to extend a massive thank you, once again, to DediServe for their continued support of my projects over the years. DediServe have provided an unparalleled infrastructure for several of my projects now, and continue to support the vision and direction of Evolve OS.
