Personally I would say Budgie is a Desktop Enviroment… but the qeustion of which window manager? Currently I’m using Hyprland and I would say if you want to something to feel archie for beginner maybe give i3 or sway a try. The choice their depends on your feelings towards Wayland.
Doesn’t that come down to what one defines as stable? To me LTS stable is just stagnant, but I prefer my software to be up-to-date.
If I look at Firefox 119.01 I don’t think it less stable than Firefox 78.6.1 (ESR)
Just how that text reads (second image) makes you think the stable tag shouldn’t exist for 22.04… Modifying something ‘out of the box’ does not seem stable when compared to something that works out of the box with updates.
Anyway thank you for all the work you do to ensure Linux works well on Framework laptops.
