Regolith is an ubuntu based distro using i3 as a window manager and Gnome for underlying stuff (network, sound, mount daemons, etc.).
- Provides GNOME's system management features with i3's productive workflow.
- Enables new users a fast and fun way to try out a tiling window manager.
I should be able to use awesome (my favourite and only tiling manager) on top of KDE but I haven't yet found the time to do it (and I really need my machine to work, can't afford to spend an evening to know how to add a wifi widget or figure out why closing the lid doesn't put the laptop to sleep (or the opposite)).
