✨ NAME ✨

budgie-desktop — it's the central entry point that gnome-session calls to actually put the graphical interface on your screen 💅 like it's the girl who walks in and suddenly the whole party starts

So basically: this manual page is for BUDGIE-DESKTOP(1), from the User Commands section, and it's lowkey just documenting the flags that get handed to the session manager. Bestie, there are not that many, you got this 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

🎀 Usage 🎀

gnome-session-binary [OPTION?]

the GNOME session manager — yeah that's literally the whole thing, that's the vibe, gnome-session-binary runs and takes an optional pile of options 🦋

💜 Help Options 💜

  • -h, --help — shows you the help options, iconic behaviour, no notes 😌

🔥 Application Options 🔥

  • --systemd-service — this is set when it's running as a systemd service 🧚
  • --systemd — use systemd session management, the modern girl way ✨
  • --builtin — use the builtin session management instead, aka rather than the systemd based one 🙈 like, you're choosing the old-school route on purpose
  • -a, --autostart=AUTOSTART_DIR — overrides the standard autostart directories, so you can point it at AUTOSTART_DIR of your choosing 💖
  • --session=SESSION_NAME — picks which session to use, give it a SESSION_NAME and go 👑
  • --debug — enables debugging code, turn this on when something's giving unhinged behaviour and you need receipts 💀
  • -f, --failsafe — do not load user-specified applications. it's the "we're keeping it minimal, we're in our safe era" flag 🎀
  • --version — prints the version of this application, quick lil flex 🌟
  • --whale — shows the fail whale dialog for testing. yes really. a whale. for testing. I'm obsessed 🐋
  • --disable-acceleration-check — disables the hardware acceleration check, for when your machine wants to argue about whether it can do graphics and you're like "girl, I know" 🫠
ngl, --whale is the main character here and I will not be taking questions 💅

so yeah, that's the whole page — this is budgie-desktop version 10.10.2, dated October 2023, and it lives in the User Commands manual section 🦋✨

slay, go read your man pages, ily, bye bestie 💖🌈
