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.

Whats your favorite workflow in KDE?
Touchpad gesture to alt-tab.
- Is it possible to use KDE's own Custom Shortcuts to print sentences?
-
Three-finger gesture for equivalent of alt-tabbing
Not natively. If you're on X11, you can use third-party tools for touchpad gestures; I have libinput-gestures and put together this (slightly hacky but functional for me) script which you're welcome to use.

For the time being, you can use this script as a workaround.

Print-style debugging for kwin-scripts
Yes, journalctl. A GUI alternative is KSystemLog. You can filter the journal to KWin by _COMM="kwin_x11"/"kwin_wayland", however that output is still very noisy. It helps to prefix the print statements so you can filter by those with -g; here is an example. Note that for journal you can get live updated output with -f. If you're on Wayland and are not getting any output, try systemd boot.

KDE Activities - cannot open 2nd instance of chrome (switches back to 1st activity)
I wrote myself a custom launcher script to solve the same annoying behavior with virtual desktops and Firefox: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/tree/main/open-on-current-desktop Perhaps that can be used as a starting point to write a modification for activities and with Chrome.
