I know quite a few folks have been asking for it and well, here it is (coming soon). #Budgie Desktop packaged up and running on #aerynos
Budgie 10.10.3 is right around the corner, so I'll be holding off on submitting it until we ship that within the next couple weeks. But once that is tagged, it'll be full steam ahead. We'll be able to add yet another operating system to our Get Budgie page 🎉 More options the merrier!

Unstable Stream Update: 17th of January, 2026
This week, we waited a little longer to do this Unstable Stream Update because COSMIC DE 1.0.2 and KDE Plasma 6.5.5 came out alongside Linux 6.18.5, which were all duly landed.
In addition, Reilly Brogan also did a bunch of upgrades (with some feature enablement on top) all across our recipes repository. So now gvfs and vlc will let you use NFS shares as well.
For JS developers, NodeJS 24 was landed and is now the default in the repository.
For gamers, installing Steam now causes the ntsync module to get loaded automatically. And speaking of gamers, we also had a new contributor join who has access to NVIDIA cards and may potentially be able to help us set those up correctly for use with dGPUs.
Meanwhile, joebonrichie added support for debuginfod, which enables automagical downloading of relevant dbginfo files when firing up gdb or lldb to investigate issues. This yields a much more streamlined Developer Experience than before, where each relevant dbginfo file needed to be installed manually.
On the documentation side, NomadicCore landed new guidance for packagers in relation to how we believe high quality Pull Requests should look (https://aerynos.dev/packaging/workflow/updating-an-existing-recipe/).

Joey Riches has been working on packagekit integration for moss so that we can have a nicer GUI experience for package installation of our stone based packages.
A short summary of his progress:
- Generated rust bindings for packagekit
- Wrote the moss backend for packagekit and implemented all functionality that moss supports
- Gnome software can list, install & update packages - working on getting a appstream catalog hosted for full functionalityTODO:
- Figure out C/rust interop story to minimise usage of unsafe
- Get support for misc. items implemented in moss such as repo origin of packages
- Get progress bar callback support in
- Implement support for remaining more niche packagekit filters e.g. newest, devel, basename, etc
- Figure out build system: integrate rust bindings & our backend upstream or develop it downstream for now?It sometimes needs saying that we are fleshing out our distro from scratch, which means we are having to build new integrations like this from scratch. This is a good thing as we have been finding opportunities for optimisation across our code base, but it does require time.
