## Breezy GNOME
Breezy GNOME is a virtual workspace solution for Linux desktops that use the GNOME desktop environment (requires GNOME 45+ on an x86_64 system); see [non-GNOME setup](#non-gnome-setup) if you want to try it without a GNOME desktop environment. It currently supports one virtual monitor and multiple physical monitors, but it will soon support multiple virtual monitors. See [upcoming features](#upcoming-features) for more improvements on the horizon.

### GNOME Setup

#### All other distros
1. Download the Breezy GNOME [setup script](https://github.com/wheaney/breezy-desktop/releases/latest/download/breezy_gnome_setup) and set the execute flag (e.g. from the terminal: `chmod +x ~/Downloads/breezy_gnome_setup`)
2. Run the setup script (e.g. `~/Downloads/breezy_gnome_setup`)
2. Run the setup script:
* For **GNOME 45+**: `~/Downloads/breezy_gnome_setup`
* For **GNOME 42-44**: `~/Downloads/breezy_gnome_setup --tag gnome-44-max-beta-1`
### Non-GNOME Setup
A workable solution (with some [QoL improvements needed](#upcoming-features)) is to use your preferred desktop environment with a GNOME window open in nested mode. To do this:
1. Install `gnome-shell` using your distros package manager (e.g. apt-get, pacman, dnf, etc...). This will currently only work with GNOME Shell versions 45+, so check that using `gnome-shell --version`

2. Run the [GNOME setup](#gnome-setup) steps. You shouldn't need to log out and back in since GNOME will be running nested.
3. Launch the nested GNOME Shell using `MUTTER_DEBUG_DUMMY_MODE_SPECS="1920x1080@60" dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --nested`
