Regolith Desktop is a Linux desktop environment that combines the i3 tiling window manager with GNOME session tooling. This repository is the meta-package that bundles the Regolith packages into a single installable unit and contains no code itself.

Use cases

  • install a tiling window manager desktop on Ubuntu
  • get an i3-based desktop environment with sensible defaults
  • switch from GNOME to a keyboard-driven tiling workflow
  • set up a productive Linux desktop for developers
  • try a preconfigured i3 + GNOME hybrid desktop

When to choose

  • you want i3 tiling without hand-configuring dotfiles
  • you run Ubuntu or Debian and want a ready-made tiling desktop
  • you prefer package-managed desktop components over manual setups

When to avoid

  • you are not on a Debian-based Linux distribution
  • you want a highly customized, from-scratch i3 setup
  • you need a desktop environment for macOS or Windows
