They ditched the existing stuff which were handled by third party software and started implementing new tiling functionality from scratch. It's a good faith effort to embrace tiling natively but this change meant they caused all existing solutions to break without providing anywhere near the same functionality. Hopefully they or 3rd parties will fix this in the future.
- lucasoshiro 2y agoI hope so. I liked my KDE + XMonad setup, but picom really made my PC slow. A 100% KDE solution would be perfect, as I'm not a XMonad power user
- RealStickman_ 2y agoI just switched from sway to KDE + Kröhnkite. That might be an option. According to the reddit comments I've seen, there aren't any plans to expand tiling functionality much beyond what it currently is in KDE.
- dizhn 2y agoEven if that's the case, the tiling "primitives" (I don't know if that's the right word) for 3rd parties to leverage is there. By the way khronkite was forked a bunch of times to create things like Bismuth which isn't supported in plasma6 anymore. Are you sure khronkite itself works? Are you using kde5 ? Or this fork https://github.com/anametologin/krohnkite https://github.com/anametologin/krohnkite ?
- RealStickman_ 2y agoYeah, I'm using that fork. I also tried Polonium, but I had regular issues with it not resizing windows when other windows were moved/closed.
