The Regolith Desktop Environment #
Productivity First #
Regolith runs i3 and Sway: popular, fast, and configurable tiling window managers that are great for productive, keyboard-driven workflows. Regolith integrates i3 and Sway with other desktop components such as
i3bar, rofication, i3status-rs, and ilia to provide a complete desktop experience.
GNOME System Management #
By integrating light-weight window managers with gnome-session, Regolith sidesteps
much of the complexity of a typical gnome-shell based environment while providing
simple and consistent system management capabilities.

Visual Tour #
Upon first login, an overlay (toggled anytime via super ?) presents the most important keybindings used with i3-wm.
For those that work in the terminal, pressing super enter is all it takes to get to business.
A single global app launcher is instantly available from anywhere to run your programs via super space.
Need more terminals? Create layouts on the fly by toggling between horizontal and vertical modes with super backspace followed by super enter. Navigate to windows positionally with super h j k l.
Toggle floating window mode with super F. Resize windows with super r and move them around with the mouse by pressing super.
Gnome Flashback provides consistent and simple system management. Tweak your UI, auto mount your USB drives, connect to wireless networks. Launch the control panel with super c.
Easily switch to Solarized or other looks with the regolith-look command. Because looks utilize the package manager, you only store theme resources that you’re using.
Got a lot going on? Quickly find the window you’re looking for via super ctrl space or navigate over workspaces with super [0 - 19].
Waste no space on frivolous UI and take advantage of every pixel without micro-managing your window layouts.
Desktop notifications do not compete for your attention, but rather can be managed via an on-screen dialog by pressing super n.Interaction #
