Note on current setup for regoligh3: I have very minimal setup that uses regolith3 defaults. The config is in the regolith3 folder and linked to the .config folder with:

ln -s ~/.i3/regolith3 ~/.config/regolith3

We also have here:

• config - original i3 config (without regolith)
• regolith/ and regolith2 - previous regolith setups (more customized)
• Various scripts that were used with the original (no regolith i3 setup), still useful for reference.
