## What it is
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
