Hello Mastodon!
If you don't know me, I'm a super easy to use Linux distribution based on Ubuntu and GNOME with a i3 tiling window manager as the default desktop.
With me, you will learn fast how to use more your keyboard (and less your mouse).
I'm a standalone distribution but I can also be installed on you standard Ubuntu through a PPA.
Happy to hear it Mike!

Well looks like @RegolithL is fast becoming my favourite DE on Pop OS. It's an i3 style tiling manager that works nicely with Gnome and Ubuntu. I believe they have an ISO too that you can use if you want to go full on Regolith. Noice. #linux #i3wm #regolith

Soumya Patnaik is going to be working on adding Wayland compositor support to Regolith in his Google Summer of Code project. We're looking forward to his work!

@RegolithL @debian @Ubuntu What would be the best way to get a fresh installation? Installing Ubuntu Server 22.04 and then Regolith 2.0 from the repo?

Regolith Desktop 2.0 is out with myriad of changes #linux #opensource https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/06/regolith-desktop-2-0-released
Great question. That should work but we'll respond in a few days with tested documentation for a clean, minimal setup.

The wonderful @omgubuntu has posted an intro to 2.0:
Regolith Desktop 2.0 is Out with Various Changes https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/06/regolith-desktop-2-0-released
Now that Regolith 2.0 is out, the team will rest a bit. After that, I hope to lobby for an infrastructure which is more free. First step would be to replace Slack.
Looking for volunteers willing to use the current Slack, join channel #infrastructure and help building a free alternative to Slack while listening to the team and respecting their current habits (and the incredible work they did).
We tried a migration to zulip a couple years ago but it did not succeed.

@RegolithL That's fantastic! Regolith, @Ubuntu, @system76 - it'd be so apt to at least get a picture together!

Yes please!

projects with access to capital make radically different decisions relating to how packages and images get distributed that traditional community-based distributions cannot make (e.g. object storage + CDN verses mirrors for repos).
how can we lift up community distros?
