Budgie Is Worth a Try

I really like Solus and Budgie, but last time I tried it enough things were broken (ex: switching workspaces via keyboard shortcuts) that I moved on. I currently dual boot Pop and Elementary. I particularly like Elementary’s terminal and their picture in picture feature. But elementary is getting long in the tooth.

Case in point. Pop really is the pinnacle of GNOME Ubuntu derivatives IMO, I've run it for years. And if it wasn't for the 18.04 base of Elementary, Budgie would've slipped under my radar completely.

Agreed. Pop is the distro to beat for daily use for me at least. I've been using Linux as a daily driver since 1998 and until Pop, the only thing I felt comfortable with was Window Maker.

WM is a highly configurable window manager that just stays out of your way. Light, efficient, and fast.

I haven't tried Budgie yet. I really like Elementary - a lovely design consistently implemented. Unfortunately (like you said for Budgie), I found it buggy enough that I eventually went back to standard Ubuntu. Might give it another try in a few years.
