budgie-extras VS system_tray_extensions

I like Ubuntu Budgie. 6th year on it. https://ubuntubudgie.org/

My experience has been that Ubuntu's Gnome DE is somewhat less suitable to older computers than Ubuntu "official flavors" with lighter DE's -- Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE), Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE), Ubuntu MATE (MATE DE), and Xubuntu (XFCE DE) -- all of which use somewhat less resources than the Gnome DE.

If you were a fan of Windows 7 - install Ubuntu Budgie. I have been running it since Windows 7 and it is rock solid.

I recommend two official Ubuntu flavors to friends contemplating migrating from Windows 10 to Linux -- Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE) and Kubuntu (KDE Plasma DE).

In terms of distros that will help facilitate the migration from Windows, I would suggest either Ubuntu Budgie or Kubuntu.

Take a look at Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS and Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, two official flavors of Ubuntu that give you the stability of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and a good looking, very functional desktop environment. I have used both extensively and can vouch for them. My use case is similar to yours -- lots of internet/browser work, occasional word processing, spreadsheet and file work.

Consider looking at several of the Ubuntu official flavors -- Kubuntu (Plasma DE), Ubuntu Budgie (Budgie DE), Xubuntu (XFCE), Ubuntu MATE (MATE DE). I wouldn't bother with Lubuntu (LXQT DE) unless you need a lightweight distro, because the LXQT DE is not as mainstream or well-supported as the others.

Answer 2: Tuxedo Keyboard is installed but it doesn't have an executable. It is controlled differently (https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Infos/Help-Support/Instructions/Installation-of-keyboard-drivers-for-TUXEDO-Computers-models-with-RGB-keyboard-.tuxedo) . But I think you have ITE device in your keyboard. So if you want to control RGB keys you can check my project: https://github.com/salihmarangoz/system_tray_extensions and here is a cool video of my laptop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oub-UnJ8b8

Extra: If you have Ite8291 rgb keyboard check this project of mine. If it doesnt work but you know which controller you have then you can open an issue and I can add it if possible. I am rewriting/redesigning the whole project nowadays so stay updated: https://github.com/salihmarangoz/system_tray_extensions

I am developing this project for Linux systems for Tuxedo Stellaris 15 / XMG Neo 15 and other identical laptops: https://github.com/salihmarangoz/system_tray_extensions (Check the project page for Demo's. If you are too lazy to open a demo check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v0SmxLNwq4). So, how about bringing a similar idea to the Windows side?

Which laptop did you buy? If your laptop has an RGB keyboard you can also check my project.

well, no but as always solution are just around the corner Solution
