How can I debug why a Kwin script is slowing my system shutdown?
If it matters, the script is https://store.kde.org/p/1852610/ / https://github.com/qewer33/Exquisite.

2022 was the year of Linux on the Desktop
Would recommend this https://github.com/qewer33/Exquisite

Arrange Windows vertically
I tried two tiling tools, Exquisite and Bismuth, but neither seems to be right for me. Mainly because they don't seem to work well on two screens.
- Tile windows not working in portrait mode?
-
KZones - a KWin script that is a true replacement for PowerToys FancyZones on KDE Plasma!
Not sure if you know Exquisite, it has a layout switch and work with modifier keys. https://github.com/qewer33/Exquisite

What low key UX improvements would you like to see in linux desktop environments?
Do you mean something like Fancyzones? If so, have you checked this out? Combined with this would be what you meant, right?
-
Fancyzones equivalent for KDE?
ThereIs Exquisite , but it's still in beta
-
I created KWin script for "snap assist" feature from Windows
This looks cool! Perhaps you could combine efforts with Exquisite to support arbitrary layouts?

Is there any 'tiling assistant' feature planned for future versions of Plasma?
For a tiling assistant window, you can use Exquisite, and for a more full auto-tiling experience you can use Bismuth, as others have suggested.

Why doesn't Gnome have native tiling?
But with auto-tiling you need to place windows according to a pre-set configuration, it needs to fit whatever layout you want to go for and it needs to be able to resize the window without breaking the content. This works pretty well for libadwaita apps, but a lot of webapps seem to assume a certain minimum window size. Another issue is how to handle modal dialogues, where paperwm for example sets an override to ensure they're not attached to the main window. Should the settings window then be treated as a separate window and tiled, or should it be left floating above all others?

Fedora is really good
I like Gnome's simplicity, agree with most of its deviations from the tired old Windowsy desktop status quo, and am very happy to depend on all its great integration work. I can't quite live with the simplistic window management, but extensions cover that (as they do much else). With Fedora + Gnome + PaperWM, I'm quite at peace with the current linux desktop situation.
-
Bismuth likely going to be deprecated after 5.27
Still I'm looking forward for something like PaperWM to be possible in KDE - or even to write it by myself

I have noticed in one of your comments in this thread that you are looking for novel ideas of the UI look. As others commenters stated, you might be interested in tiling window managers like i3 [0] or sway [1]. They are truly a gem for productivity and sometimes for an eye [2].
However, I love the concept of scrollable window manager like PaperWM [3] is. When I had a smaller screen (24" 16:9) I was complaining a lot on unused space on my screen. With PaperWM I was finally happy with its dimensions, because I could have huge IDE on the left and small part of terminal displayed on the right. That way I knew if something was printed to terminal, while my editor took 80% of the screen.
