glazewm VS UltrawideWindows

The two biggest tiling window manager projects for Windows are komorebi and GlazeWM. Komorebi is probably faster and more resource efficient since it is written in Rust, but I stick with Glaze for now since it has a cool status bar built in I like.

If you're looking for a Windows alternative for i3, you should check out GlazeWM

I'm not really sure if this "replaces" the WM or just 'runs it' https://github.com/lars-berger/GlazeWM

Have a look at how GlazeWM does it. https://github.com/lars-berger/GlazeWM

My setup: - 4K 55" TV required of course - KDE Plasma (some plugins/settings didn't work to my liking with 5.26, had other issues with the install so anyways I'm on 5.24) - UltrawideWindows script - KDE systemsettings -> Workspace Behavior -> Desktop Effects -> Desktop Grid, shortcut set to meta + E because Compiz, also when running 5.25+ it forced a "present windows" effect when showing the grid, I could not figure out how to disable it. Apologies for the snarky post, I was quite frustrated at the time, and am not looking forward to updating Plasma. - KDE systemsettings -> Shortcuts ... find the shortcuts for UltrawideWindows plugin and customize (I'm on my work laptop which I don't have that plugin, just standard Plasma 2x2 grid, so idk where exactly the binds are), readme

I almost switched to tiling but I didn't quite get over how it wasn't KDE's desktop grid. Unsolicited script recommendation: https://store.kde.org/p/1276605/

A few months ago I tried a few KDE kwin scripts.

Ultimately I went with 'Ultrawide Windows' [1], mostly because I like it better than the defaults and at the same time it is still simple to use. The Github page gives an impression of its capabilities and lists the hotkeys, but it is also available via the KDE integrated tools [2]. What I am still missing is a tool to simply define and use custom layouts.

I am running Gnome 40.5. I am in search of a very easy tiling extension to help me manage windows on my ultra-widescreen monitor. When I was on KDE I used the UltrawideWindows KWin script and it was perfect for my needs.

I recently switched to an ultrawide and found the minimal tiling (corners only) available by default in Plasma to be insufficient. After lots of searching, I found this Github (https://github.com/lucmos/UltrawideWindows). It's also available if you search for Ultrawide in the KWin script section of Settings. It does all the things I want with quasitiling on an Ultrawide, chiefly, big 50% window in the middle, 2 25% windows on the sides, just like Windows PowerToys.

I found https://github.com/lucmos/UltrawideWindows - Already pretty good. If anyone knows a solution which works without a keyboard I'm all ears :)
