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.

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.

A couple of questions regarding Bismuth tiling extension
I said I was using kwin-tiling-script, and yes, it does have thatβI use[d] it all the time (it's called "Grid" layout)

Manjaro / KDE β hard to dislike
If you're referring to kwin-tiling the author has archived that as of end of 2022 and it's unmaintained. It's not really anything KDE did on purpose except to do the usual updates and that's broken an unmaintained project.

Does KDE have a (official or non-official) tiling mode?
I use kwin tiling

What features is KDE missing according to you
If you are ready to sacrifice gaps (and some other advanced features like taking away title bar from tiled windows) and run multi monitor, then I would suggest kwin-tiling. It has no settings, but out of the box with changing hotkeys similar to i3wm you can get great tiling experience (it even supports moving window from monitor to monitor using meta+shift+hjkl if it hits on the border)

Is there a way to increase/decrease the opacity value of one window with the keyboard?
The last DE I used before jumping to bspwm was KDE with kwin-tiling and one of the features I miss is the ability to change "on the fly" the opacity of a given window with keyboard shortcuts.

What tiling window method to go for?
I like KWin-Tiling-Script (https://github.com/kwin-scripts/kwin-tiling), but Bismuth has better desktop integration and is more popular.

Arch + Tiling Window Manager
Before making the jump to a tiling WM , I think you should use a tiling KWin script for KDE. It will help you get used to a tiling WM but still have the familiarity of KDE. https://github.com/kwin-scripts/kwin-tiling is a good one that I use.
