Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Adhere to the standard
It adheres to traditional Unix and new defined standards.
Pro It's Open Source
It's open source with a BSD License, which is much more business friendly than GPL. It's the real ancestor of Mac, that is being used nowadays.
Pro It's real
Under NetBSD csh is csh not tcsh; also vi is real vi not elvis, nvi or vim. It's ideal for purists.
Pro Architecture portability
It's the most portable OS in the world when considering what architectures it can run on. It runs on very wide range of hardware, from toaster to satellites. This of course does not mean it supports drivers for many consumer facing products making it a difficult solution to just boot up and use when compared to other OSs.
Pro Clean source code
It prioritizes source code cleanliness over anything.
Pro User-friendly interface
Good interface on Budgie and a great approach on Ubuntu.
Pro Nightshift
Ubuntu Mate doesn’t have this and it’s really easy on the eyes when working at night.
Pro Minimal installation gives a new look and feel to what a reliable Os should be
LibreOffice may be exploited and used to attack you but a minimal installation keeps the stalkers at bay.
Pro Improved Wifi stability with update
Improved wifi stability with 5.15 update.
Pro Additional themes
No need for external theme sources that may affect how you use your OS. All your favorite distributions can be mimicked.
Pro Safe updates
Updates are stable so far.
Cons
Con Lack of drivers
It lacks drivers for some new devices.
Con Can be slow and bloated
May be preferable for new users, but for those who want a minimal system it can be rather slow and comes with many preinstalled applications.
Con Has Wi-Fi issues
Asks for Wi-Fi password continuously.
Con Bad Experience after an update
Had a bad experience after an update and then I gave up.
Con Cannot customize the panel but then you get a more reliable system
A lot of us like to have a power button , restart button and other frequently used apps in our top panel but with Budgie you can’t really customize this but in return you get a great system.
Con It is only completely good if you install it separately rather than on another OS
