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.

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.

Tiling window manager/DE
About the tiling there are extensions that alleviate some of the issues that GNOME's default tiling has. WinTile is one that adds 4 corner tiling just like Windows 10, (although I had some problems with snapping in/out the top panel and ended up not using it. Perhaps one day native 4 corner tiling will be implemented). ShellTile, gTile, PaperWM and the Pop shell are some extensions that give GNOME some advanced tiling capabilities. I personally don't use them as I'm happy with the default stacking GNOME workflow and prefer to use a standalone Tiling WM like sway if I need to, but I see the value in having a Tiling WM in GNOME and these are some of the extensions I've heard the most positive things.
