Do you want us to let you know what configurations we've tested it on and found it working?

I've got the following setup:

Hardware: MS Surface Pro 6
Distro: Manjaro Architect Base with i3 DE.
Kernel: 5.8.3-arch1-1-surface (note the custom kernel)

I just installed over the top of it, even my DM is picking it up properly and letting me switch between them.

As far as I can tell, it all works fine out the box except #6.

Hardware: Thinkpad T61
Distro: Manjaro Architect 20.0.3 with XFCE
Kernel: 5.8.1-3-MANJARO

Gnome control panel has problems with bluetooth settings (doesn't work at all) and edge scrolling (touchpad settings), otherwise no issues yet except #6.
I will also test it on multiple other laptops and my desktop when I get some time.

#6 has been fixed... Did you pull the latest commits and reinstall?

I figured out what's with the @A(ss) nonsense. It's a bug in i3xrocks, it's nothing to do with Arch.

I found this thread, where people are asking about i3xrocks modules, and keyboard layout was being discussed. kgilmer (the guy behind Regolith Linux) was saying that his was coming back with the exact same @A(ss), it looks like this shouldn't be shipped. I can possibly tweak the command to get it to show (xkb, us) (for a US layout, of course) but for now I just think I'm going to remove that block from the equation. I'll work on it later and try and push something. But yeah, just know this isn't an issue with Regolith DE on Arch.

Alright, good to know.

I'll fix it, I just have to remove the block causing it (it's just the keymap block which is pretty useless)

Hardware : Asus-G14
Distro: Endeavour OS (Just base packages and core)
Kernel: 5.8.12

Runs pretty well ...better than on Ubuntu ...

Two main things i've noticed

  1. Bluetooth settings is pretty finicky , I had it working once.... but most of the time it doesn't respond
  2. On a dual monitor setup , after suspension the workspaces from monitor 2 get thrown onto monitor 1 (primary)

If you need anything , let me know . :)

Great work :)

Thrilled to hear that.

I'm pretty sure that Arch is just finicky with Bluetooth in general. I'll look into it, though.

On a dual monitor setup , after suspension the workspaces from monitor 2 get thrown onto monitor 1 (primary)

I'm almost certain this is just an i3 thing.

Have you saved the i3 config to your local config folder? If not, you need to do that, I think it goes in ~/.config/regolith/i3/config. Once you do that, you need to assign workspaces to a specific monitor. That's just part of i3. After that, suspend shouldn't make a difference.

Yes, after somemore testing today , it seems no worse than any other time with arch

Thanks for the tip . I've only ever used i3 on single monitor set ups ... I'm currently using a laptop that I plug in and out of everyday ... so dual displayes isn't static ... Will see what I can mash in the config though .

Once again, great job, I really appreciate the time . :)

Go ahead and set it up as dual-monitor. It will just ignore that when you only have one monitor connected. For example, if you put Workspaces 1-5 on Monitor 1 and 6-10 on Monitor 2, All 10 will go on Monitor 1 until you plug in your second Monitor, then reload i3.

Ok . Thank you , works fine :)

Have a great day ....
(See the original if you would like to see my mistake .... "$ws1" got me going .. I originally had $ws1 but hit a config error and went to "1" .. should have just commented the original! .

Closing as this isn't really relevant anymore and the DE is now in the AUR.

If using an AUR helper (for example yay):

yay -S regolith-full

If using makepkg to build manually:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/regolith-de && cd regolith-de
makepkg -si
