kde tilling features needs some attention
KWin used to have no tiling capabilities at all and people came up with lots of add-on scripts like kwin-tiling, Grid-Tiling-KWin, Krohnkite, Bismuth and so on. This gave users tiling, but it was always a bit hackish, getting KWin to do something it wasn't designed to do.

Any good Kwin Tiling scripts?
Personally I use Grid-Tiling-Kwin, which is working great with Wayland. Not sure why it won't allow more than 2 splits horizontally/2 splits vertically, though.

I'm thinking about DE hopping to KDE. Please convince me not to.
I only had issues a few times when installing new theme or icons. Desktop widgets might sometimes move a bit after restart, other than that it works well. I also use https://github.com/lingtjien/Grid-Tiling-Kwin

Lightweight tiling WM for a noob - recommendation
For starters, there is a couple of tiling scripts for KWin (Kröhnkite and Grid-Tiling). You can also turn any EWMH-compliant WM into a tiling one with PyTyle.

Is it just me, or notifications are stealing focus in Wayland?
Also have noticed that when a notification shows up, an entry on the window list plasmoid shows up too - so it could be that they got kind of a regular window behavior somehow. This behavior is reported in bug #411462, which I think is the cause of another issue I'm having (using Grid-Tiling-Kwin and when opening a plasmoid, it wants to fill a space as if it were a regular window, and it messes up with the layout of previously opened windows) but am not sure if it's related to the focus stealing issue.

How secure is the new KDE Plasma Tiling Extension "Bismuth" due to npm?
Note that there are at least other alternative. Maybe not as powerful as I imagine Bismuth/Krohnite is, the one I use, [Grid-tiling-kwin](https://github.com/lingtjien/Grid-Tiling-Kwin) (though it's being funny lately with Wayland and not sure why)

~/.config/kwinrc being rewritten (by latte?)
Perhaps a working kwin script - for example, I use Grid-Tiling-Kwin and for some reason while in use it keeps rewriting that file.

Noob need help !!
Tiling window managers take a lot of time to learn and configure, and typically require configuration through text files. I would not recommend starting with a true tiling WM. You can use System76's Pop tiling GNOME extension, which still allows you to use the mouse to drag windows as well as add tiling exceptions, or you can install KDE and use Grid-Tiling-KWin. Krohnkite also works, but it might be a little too advanced. Grid-Tiling allows you to meta-drag windows around to change their positions rather than relying entirely on keyboard shortcuts, just like the Pop tiling.

Starting with Linux on a tablet
Some tips: 1. Install "modern" DE. Both KDE and Gnome has nice touch support 2. Take a look at tiling WMs and addons, personally I use Bismuth 3. Install Touchegg. It allows you to set up multi-touch gestures for managing tiling, right click emulation, pinch-to-zoom, scroll and so on 4. Try Xournal for note taking 5. Take a look at related ArchWiki page

A distro with good touchscreen support
Arch Linux, I use it as daily driver on my Surface Pro 6. Read Touchscreen and Tablet articles on ArchWiki. I use KDE (touch support is decent), Touchegg for gestures with Touche GUI, Bismuth for tiling, OnBoard for on-screen keyboard.

Just switched to Wayland and so many of the annoying X11 bugs are completely fixed, and added a couple nice features and some of new bugs
Bismuth window tiling (krohnkite fork with wayland support since krohnkite is unmaintained) has a tracked bug with dialog pop-ups not floating and instead being tiled
-
A warning for laptop + second screen users that want to try Wayland.
Hopefully this will get fixed soon, because with this fix and (for my use case) Bismuth (Krohnkite successor), Wayland is very much usable and smooth.

Recommend me a tiling wm with KDE plasma.
I love Bismuth
- How impressive that a fully loaded Plasma session uses less than 700 MB RAM as of 2021, yet everything performs buttery smooth and flying fast, plus with a gorgeous default theme.

Can I install the Window Tiling Feature on KDE Fedora?
There's also Bismuth, which includes Wayland support: https://github.com/gikari/bismuth

What's the main reason you chose Plasma?
Or use tiling KWin script, that integrates better with Plasma and additionally works on Wayland: Bismuth.
-
Krohnkite still does not work in Wayland, and it has not been updated in more than a year. Any alternatives? Is it Kwin's fault?
There is an active fork of Krohnkite, called Bismuth, that plans to support Wayland.
