Whats the main challenge in KDE adoption for New users, and how can it be addressed?
That's why I developed Klassy to try and experiment with alternatives, and tried to make the window decoration icons more like what was in KDE1 and visually represent the window shape. I would also be willing to make a simpler, stripped-down version with fewer configuration options if necessary.

Somebody want to help revive Adapta KDE?
If you want to bypass problems in Aurorae, you can almost exactly recreate that window decoration using Klassy and the "use system icon theme" with Papirus icons:

Klassy v4.3 customizable window decoration and application style released for Plasma 5.27
See discussion at: https://github.com/paulmcauley/klassy/issues/61
-
Manually block auto suspend and screen locking from commandline or a keyboard shortcut
Not so straightforward setup but here you go: - Plasma theme: Modified lightly-plasma - Application theme: this fork of Lightly - Window decoration: Klassy - Window rounded corners: (LightlyShaders KWin effect)[https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders/] - Wallpaper - Plasma and everything else colors: kde-material-you-colors

Why do so many window decorations have massive Borders? (Ay fix?)
Breeze isn't affected because it's written as C++ code instead of just using images and a text config file, but the downside is that it's a lot more complicated to create a custom one (the only one I know of that still appears to see some development is Klassy, which is a fork of Breeze).
- Window decorations not blurring
-
I can't figure out how to make the top of the windows transparent with Kvantum.
Try installing Klassy windows decoration. It has option to configure the amount of transparency. If it doesn't work too, there some issue that would need a bug report
- What's up with Klassy window decoration? Is it impossible to use it anymore?
- Why the awful desktop and logout / lock screen freeze has not been fixed yet?
- If you dont complain you get nothing! What features/bug fixes you want to see in future KDE

kde tilling features needs some attention
That's exactly what happens. Bismuth was a fork of Krohnkite. If someone needs Bismuth enough, they will pick it up, fork it or whatever.

Manjaro / KDE ā hard to dislike
I wonder if this PR would help you.

KDE VS GNOME
No idea what exactly that shell does but in KDE krohnkite https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite was pretty popular until it was somehow superseeded by bismuth https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth (which forked krohnkite or was inspired by or whatever) and now with Plasma 5.27 there's initial work on a native tiling window manager including a whole new API for people to build upon, and which can be accessed with Meta+T.

Is there a way to install Kwin - Bismuth on my steam deck in a way that doesn't make my head hurt?
You can use Kronkite just fine. Bismuth is a fork of it, and their feature-sets are practically the same.
- I made outlines for KDE Breeze window decoration
- Iām done with pop

Are there options for dynamic window tiling in a traditional desktop environment?
Do you know how that differs from https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite it seems like that is another tiling extension.
