In this story, we’d like to inform fans of the Budgie desktop environment about some of the upcoming features heading their way. Developer Ikey Doherty tells Softpedia that Budgie 11 is a major update, with a modular architecture, featuring a reacher UI (User Interface), actionable notifications, and multi-monitor support for the panel. Talking about the panel, we bet that many will be enchanted to find out that Budgie 11 comes with a dock-like mode, which means that there’s no need to install Plank or Cairo-Dock anymore if you want to have a setup like the one in the attached screenshot. Furthermore, the dock mode of the Budgie panel allows for custom styling.
