KDE is FULL of TILING FEATURES!

For those wondering, built-in Kwin tiling will be included in Plasma 5.27 which will probably be released on Feb 2023, and it's the last Plasma 5 feature release (the next one will be Plasma 6).

Pop!OS' tiling is a great balance of easy to use and powerful for advanced users. I used it exclusively before I moved to Manjaro/KDE

As a i3wm user, all the tiling is nice, but not have option to assign workspaces to specific display is deal breaker. I will go with plasma and kwin if it support it.

I've been using bismuth for the past weeks and it's a great tool. I wanted to try and have a tiling experience, but I didn't want to move to a tiling window manager 'cause I love KDE Plasma, so I'm quite happy to know that the next release will come with this feature out-of-the-box.

I was on krohnkite never knew how to spell it but now I’m using Bismuth with titlebars disabled. Love KDE with Bismuth

I am now using Plasma 6 in Tumbleweed and the built-in Kwin-tiling is fantastic!

Exquisite is amazing. Very easy to install and use too, just install the button widget, and you'll have everything you need. It's so good since I definitely don't use tiling for everything every time but this is such an easy toggle. The dev is easy to talk to when I propose adding a way to dismiss window decorations to save up space.

Been a KDE user for 15+ years, wouldn't dream of changing to anything else.

Any hope to get the links in the description ?

Sway is the I3 version for wayland, lets say, the modern one, I think you should try it.

The only thing missing in KDE's tiling feature, for me, is the option to "stack" tiles on top of each other and navigate them like tabs

[bennyprfane]

Actually I've been looking for the KWin script you didn't showcase here: KDE Snap Assist! I looked for it in KDE bug tracker and it was requested by several people, but a developer wrote it's not possible to make - but look here, it works perfectly fine!

The biggest benefit of having tiling managers instead of DE is to get rid of the fat ass titles bars that are plaguing current OSes and applications (limiting more and more screen real estate).
The second benefit is immutable workflow..
Once you learn it and set it up in a way that fits you, you are no longer annoyed by controversial changes pushed by some mainstream trends that tend to hurt the power users.

Config files are also faster to redeploy into fresh installed PCs.
In other words YOU keep control of the interface.
The Raw nature of the WM has some elegance and appeal since that option is lighter and snappier.

The WM who can handles floating and non floating behaviors are the most suited for graphical intensive programs although the user have to make one leap of faith and play with WM long enough to understand the logic of use.

It would be awesome tab feature with tiling, as sway, i3 and others do

[AlwaysSlackin]

Dear anyone involved in developing tiling in KDE; Please let us define our own spaces to snap windows into and not just the couple you deem ok. At 32:9 there is a TON of wasted space, and I need far more things open than any of these layouts. Thank you!

[revelucian]

How do I enable the new KWIN tiling feature? Or is is it something I have to install separately? The [Metakey] + [T] shortcut you mentioned in the video does nothing.

Been using Bismuth for about a year now after switching from Khronkite. Definitely happy with it, I'm using a machine that can afford all the Plasma overhead but just need that tiling goodness. Shut off the window titles and borders, set my gaps, and it runs really well - conserves screen real estate, works with floating vertical panel on the left, and resizes easily. There are some rare malfunctions, including resize limits and some odd overlap decisions, but it beats its predecessor by a mile and a half. Feels a bit like other master and stack TWMs.

[AndrleJan]

I'm still sticking with faho's Tiling because of the i3-like behaviour (manual tiling). Otherwise, Bismuth and native tiling feature are great👏.

[MichaelWilliams-lrmb]

I'm using Bismuth but I would like to see scratchpad functionality like i3 and other tiling window managers have.

I LOVE KDE-- and I use Kwin Script Krohnkite and LOVE IT-- it's the closest to the style of POP OS and so NICE... and I LOVE this-- I can't use the others. never could figure out the keycode crap... I'm not a programmer and the key combos don't stick in my head AT ALL.. with Krohnkite- doesn't have to- it's automatic and I JUST LOVE IT.
