Regolith Linux – A desktop with less visual bullshit

Looks cool! But Gnome control center is kinda terrible. I'm on Ubuntu and if I want to connect to my bluetooth headphones I have to use bluetoothctl. The Gnome control panel is a joke and doesn't work. Same for wifi. The widget works but the control panel doesn't

I freaking love the idea.

Raw i3 sucks, you spend half of your time trying to configure Bluetooth, wireless multi-screen support, etc..

Now I use Ubuntu Mate with i3wm support and it's awesome, will try this Insha'allah.

I like the visual design of the desktop as well as the website for it. The choice of key bindings seems good too — I like that the app launcher is bound to win+space, because I’ve always mentally thought of it as being similar to apple’s OS X finder. The documentation seems well written and should get people on their way. Hopefully this gets some people over the learning curve of i3 and into a place where they can enjoy its great power and minimalism.

it's as if the heavens took pity on my recently jumping from debian flavors with desktop environments straight into arch flavors with tiling window managers, and decided to throw me a bone. baby steps.

i've had alot of fun with this for the past few days, i suspect i am not the only person who has used ubuntu almost exclusively since the buzz surrounding it bubbled up to the more normie/casual parts of the internet a decade ago. yeah i've played with debian proper on my pi, and i almost exclusively work from the terminal in ubuntu, but i still found something like the move to an arch distro, or manually setting up i3 to replace the ubuntu DE's, to be out of my grasp. extremely awesome effort here, and probably my new go-to OS.

Having been testing Manjaro because of its really nice defaults in the i3 version, this is also very nice config on Xubuntu. Perhaps enough to become a new Ubuntu variant, "Ibuntu" ?

I'm a big fan of an i3(gaps) distro, but it's somewhat humorous to say "without all the visual bullshit" and have compiz included.

This is really exciting, and something I am definitely gonna have to try.

It’s basically the custom setup I have right now, with a few enhancements (a better wallpaper manager, better settings management, and st instead of gnome-terminal, although never having tried st I’m not sure if that’s an improvement or not).

Great effort by the creators.

I'm excited about this and am looking forward to giving it a try. I've been looking for a minimalistic Xubuntu alternative recently -- not unhappy with the latter besides minor grievances, but it's getting boring (perhaps a good thing).

Does anyone know if there's something like this, but with sway and full wayland instead?

One concern I have is that since I run my Linux instance in a VM inside Windows, I prefer super being mapped to Alt as opposed to Win. Is this possible in Regolith? Also are vim hjkl keybindings available for window management?

Anybody knows how to set up the `Mod + ?` shortcut to bring the shortcuts? Do they use a script for this?

huh? switching distros for a theme?

I’m getting errors trying to add the repo to 19.04. Any updates?

Is there a way to disable gaps within Regolith? I have i3 with ubuntu and I love the extensions these guys have added to it. However i never understood the functional benefit of having them. My favorite part about a tiling wm is making use of space, not wasting it.
