#NixOS has now been added to our docs under the "Get #Budgie Effortlessly" section of our Getting Budgie page, as well as under the more detailed "manual" one if you'd like to add it to your system configuration files. Big thanks to @FedericoSchonborn for the pull request ❤️

In the case of Zenity and Mutter fixes, @fedora already has this and I just put together another release for the AppIndexer fix. Should land in a few hours in F38 and F37.

In the case of @Solus, they just got AppIndexer fix and will get the others with 10.7.2 (they aren't affected by the others because of the 43.x stack and older zenity).

Will be working to figure out the backporting story for Debian / Ubuntu with the Ubuntu Budgie folks.

I am going to be putting out a Budgie 10.7.2 tomorrow that should have a few backports targeting problematic parts of the software stack that are causing some user frustration, which are already addressed for 10.8.

Examples:

- An upstream Vala change causes our appindexer search to segfault.
- Zenity change causes control center monitor apply dialog to not show up.
- Bunch of Mutter related fixes.

Shifted the deployment of the docs over to DigitalOcean's App infrastructure to streamline CI further. Resulted in some DNS changes so please be patient while it propagates around the world. Shouldn't take too long.

Well that was quite the boring deployment and tinkering, but the traffic is sorted with no unnecessary internal redirects for SSL traffic. The service was up basically much the entire time, save for the couple minutes I was doing image deployments.

Anyways, with these changes, I have now fixed indexing both for plain old search engine crawlers as well as our now integrated Algolia-based search 🥳 - Joshua

P.S. Yes there will be styling improvements for the integration in a forthcoming update.

Just a heads up: I am currently working on some changes to how traffic is handled between our load balancer and kubernetes, as well as traffic within the cluster. Might result in the blog and docs not being accessible for a short time as I work on it. - Joshua

If you are not in a position to financially contribute, that is seriously 100% okay too. Posting your slick Budgie setups on social media, sharing your experiences (positive and constructively negative, we benefit from both), and retoots / reshares of our progress as a project and community is of great benefit as well. It helps build mind-share in the community and gets more eyes on the project!

I'm going to be making the rounds today to contributors that made #Budgie 10.7 the fantastic release that it is to make sure they get compensated for that work. That compensation is thanks to all of your support via our #OpenCollective over at https://opencollective.com/buddies-of-budgie

If you are in a financial position to donate, have not done so yet, and find value in the work done on Budgie, your contribution (of any size) would be amazing ❤️
