Saw an article talking about Budgie Linux and I remembered I tested it out on my laptop when I was distro shopping. (Specifically Ubuntu Budgie) And again I was impressed by how nice it looked. So I don't remember why I discounted it during that time.
Thankfully I posted about it here. It would not resume from sleep/suspend properly. And it wasn't an nvidia driver issue either, did it on the intel driver too. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't have it installed at the moment but I am installing it on a different machine to see if it reacts the same.
