#2I'm a big fan of an i3(gaps) distro, but it's somewhat humorous to say "without all the visual bullshit" and have compiz included.

#3Is there a way to disable gaps within Regolith? I have i3 with ubuntu and I love the extensions these guys have added to it. However i never understood the functional benefit of having them. My favorite part about a tiling wm is making use of space, not wasting it.

Hi mastrsushi, super-+ and super-- interactively change the size of the gaps and they go to zero. You can edit the i3 config as well to hard set them at 0.

I see your point. I guess my meaning was more about things on the screen, rather than a lightweight GUI stack.

#6I like the visual design of the desktop as well as the website for it. The choice of key bindings seems good too — I like that the app launcher is bound to win+space, because I’ve always mentally thought of it as being similar to apple’s OS X finder. The documentation seems well written and should get people on their way. Hopefully this gets some people over the learning curve of i3 and into a place where they can enjoy its great power and minimalism.

#7I'm excited about this and am looking forward to giving it a try. I've been looking for a minimalistic Xubuntu alternative recently -- not unhappy with the latter besides minor grievances, but it's getting boring (perhaps a good thing).

#8Looks cool! But Gnome control center is kinda terrible. I'm on Ubuntu and if I want to connect to my bluetooth headphones I have to use bluetoothctl. The Gnome control panel is a joke and doesn't work. Same for wifi. The widget works but the control panel doesn't

Look into blueman; works great for me.

It's pretty good, thanks!
