I used i3 for years on Ubuntu then discovered Regolith Desktop and haven't gone back. The thing is, I've never encountered anyone else who uses it.

I love both GNOME and automatic/dynamic tiling. So Regolith should have been a match made in heaven. However, unfortunately:

  • It's not found in the repositories of any major distro. You know it's messed up if it's not packaged as a nixpkg!
  • If you can look surpass that, it's still intended only on Debian/Ubuntu. While the AUR package exists (and even RebornOS -an Arch-derivative- offers it in their own repos), you're simply out of luck outside of that. So, as a Fedora enjoyer myself, this unfortunately applies to me as well.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
