I don’t know what it is, and neither the article nor the Budgie website seem keen on explaining it.
Its a Desktop Environment

yup
Also a distro!

Is it? That’s not listed as an option here alongside Endravour, Fedora, etc.

That is correct, but it doesn’t explain what Budgie is.
Their website explains everything. Do you… use Linux?
