As someone who always tiles windows to maximum screen usage, a tiling window saves me the step of dragging windows to snap points. I open the windows I want and they're already arranged how I would've arranged them manually. In the rare case that I don't want a simple split, the tiling layout has its own window dragging/snapping system that lets me easily make my windows into whatever grid arrangement I want far more easily than doing so with floating windows, as all I have to specific is the relative locations of the windows (left, right, above, below) and a split ratio, all with mouse drag targets similar to iPadOS's split screen.
- shmerl 3y agoKDE has tiling scripts for KWin which can do the same thing. So you can get the same functionality without the need to go barebones for everything else.
- gchamonlive 3y agoIt had, but they are all dead until ported to the new kde 6. https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth/issues/471#issuecomment-1410969462 https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth/issues/471#issuecom... This is what I used. I found no good replacement for it and that is what made me switch to hyprland.
- shmerl 3y agoCould be. Haven't really looked into third party scripts development since I'm not using tiling. But actual KWin APIs should support it.
- pimeys 3y agoThis is a fork of bismuth that works with plasma 6. Haven't tried it, but it is supposedly quite nice https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/polonium https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/polonium
- idle_zealot 3y agoI've tried a couple but they had a tendency to lose track of windows and bug out in annoying ways. Perhaps they are better now, but having already set up wofi, a notification daemon, and bt/wifi managers I don't see what Plasma would even get me.
