From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I used i3 for years on Ubuntu then discovered Regolith Desktop and haven't gone back. The thing is, I've never encountered anyone else who uses it.

I had it recommended to me by a colleague. And I've gotta say, it's fantastic.

Some nitpicks (when it comes to curved screens) , but otherwise it's pretty much flawless.

is it more than a theme for i3?

No, it's a blend of i3 and Gnome.
