Budgie Desktop 10.10.1 has been released as the first maintenance update in the 10.10 series. The desktop now relies on a new shared static library that centralizes screen and monitor handling logic, adds rate smoothing, and introduces additional safety checks.

Wayland integration also improves through expanded Labwc support. Budgie 10.10.1 introduces full support for sloppy window focus, joining the existing click-to-focus and mouse focus modes.

Just to clarify, sloppy focus allows windows to receive focus when the pointer enters them without automatically raising them, offering a workflow that has long been requested by users coming from other Wayland compositors.
