Regolith is a unique desktop environment that ditches the cruft of Windows and Mac knockoffs to provide a productive and beautiful place to get work done. Built on top of Ubuntu and GNOME, Regolith stands on a stable, well-supported, and consistent foundation.

Visual Tour of Regolith...

Upon login, Regolith is relatively free of clutter. A bar at the bottom provides important information such as the time and active workspace.

For those that do most of their work in the terminal, pressing <super>-<enter> is all it takes to get to business:

Need more terminals? Toggle between horizontal and vertical layouts with <super>-<backspace>:

Launching apps is as simple as <super>-<space>, type a few letters of the app you're looking for and press <enter> to launch it:

gnome-flashback provides consistent and simple system management. Tweak your UI, auto mount your USB drives, connect to a wireless router:

Toggle an overlay via <super>-<?> that presents the most important keybindings until they become muscle-memory:

Big on multitasking? Quickly find the window you're looking for via <super>-<ctrl>-<space>, or navigate over workspaces with <super>-<number>:

Waste no space on frivolous UI and take advantage of every pixel without micro-managing your window layouts:
