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

Elementary OS 7
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.

How do i make linux not just a different version of windows
If you want something really different, give PaperWM a shot.

2022 was the year of Linux on the Desktop
You may want to try PaperWM (GNOME extension) https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM

Komorebi (a tiling window manager for Windows) v0.1.9 is out!
I presumes this is probably out of the scope, but curious if there's interest to implement tiled scrolling behavior (https://github.com/paperwm/paperwm). I liked paperwm a lot, but couldn't find anything similar on Windows or else.

Cardboard; a scrollable tiling window manager
This is reminiscent of Gnome's PaperWM [0]. Not a Gnome user and just had the chance to try it for less than an hour, but the experience in my head sounded better than it was in reality - though was more of 'unexpected behavior' things than faults in the concept.
I think this approach tries to solve the 'cramming too much windows in a single virtual desktop' that sometimes can be felt with tiling WMs. For example, when I'm drawing something in Krita I'd want to see some references of what I'm drawing - I'd just scroll a bit to unveil an adjacent Falkon window to browse some images on the internet, do some strokes and scroll back to Krita's window - without having to resize it in half.

What's your favorite less known Gnome extension?
Sorry, I should have explained more. It's not on the regular site, so you have to install from https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM. It treats each desktop as an infinite horizontal scroll of windows, and automatically tiles them as such. Keyboard shortcuts can manipulate width and height, stack and unstack, move windows left and right or up and down, move windows between workspaces or monitors. Support in GNOME 40+ is still being worked on, and I'm not sure of the status, but it works great on 3.38.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
I really want https://material-shell.com/ for MacOS
it was perfect for using a single monitor
kinda like a deterministic alt+tab, you set up the layout of "workspaces" and they're always in the same place
I keep getting annoyed at alt+tab because I accidentally clicked on another window and now the order is messed up

Kera Desktop: A brand-new desktop environment in the development
I'm confused. How does that work? Is it like a GNOME extension or something; similar to how Material Shell works?

How many of you use your gnu/linux distro without much customization?
I don't know too much about that. You can achieve a lot with gnome extensions. And if you'd like to build your own and see what's possible, check out the source code of Material Shell

I'm a tiling WM user but the concept of the scrolling window managers were new to me. This idea might be experimental but using it was fun. If you want to try it, CardBoard is a good start. I had fun using it for a couple of days and thought it's good to share it with you too.

Can't install Gnome Shell Extensions
Hi, I'm working on Ubuntu 22.04.1 with Gnome 42.5. I used to be able to install shell extensions just fine with the Chrome extension. However (I think since (un)installing the Material Shell Extension), I can't install any extension anymore, not via the Chrome extension, not via the terminal (`gnome-extensions install -f ...`). In the browser, the switch is available and clickable, but nothing simply happens. Via the terminal, no feedback at all is given. When going over the [source code](https://github.com/material-shell/material-shell) of the material shell, it seems that it tampers with some extensions and God knows what else... Via `dconf` I had to enable the allowance of extensions (`disable-user-extensions`), also something Material Shell probably did. I uninstalled Material Shell according to the docs, but of course, not everything is undone...
