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.

Nice! Although FYI @gnome is doing the heavy lifting of most of the functions unrelated to the window manager, via the excellent gnome-flashback project.

Switching from GNOME to @RegolithL was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

My apologies to @gardotd426 that I forgot and which did most of the work to port Regolith to Archlinux (see https://github.com/gardotd426/regolith-de )

awesome job, thanks for it!

Running Regolith on Archlinux? That's exactly what @joshuaCrewe and others are doing : https://github.com/gardotd426/regolith-de
