Tried installing budgie-extras, none of the included applets show up when I go to “desktop settings”. Also if I try to install an individual applet such as Budgie-appmenu-applet it once again doesn’t show up on the list of available applets.
Any ideas/suggestions??
You could tell what desktop environment you are using.
@hcvv Um, that would be Budgie

Well, never heard off. That name does not really convene to me that it is the name of a DE.
I see hat it even has a Pattern in the OSS repo.
