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.
- Why KDE Plasma was chosen as the default desktop environment for Asahi Linux

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

KDE/Plasma Nordish
Kwin tiling script - Krohnkite

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.

What does your workflow look like on Linux?
I love virtual desktops and Krohnkite; it works infinitely better than windows.

Starting with Linux on a tablet
Some tips: 1. Install "modern" DE. Both KDE and Gnome has nice touch support 2. Take a look at tiling WMs and addons, personally I use Bismuth 3. Install Touchegg. It allows you to set up multi-touch gestures for managing tiling, right click emulation, pinch-to-zoom, scroll and so on 4. Try Xournal for note taking 5. Take a look at related ArchWiki page

A distro with good touchscreen support
Arch Linux, I use it as daily driver on my Surface Pro 6. Read Touchscreen and Tablet articles on ArchWiki. I use KDE (touch support is decent), Touchegg for gestures with Touche GUI, Bismuth for tiling, OnBoard for on-screen keyboard.

Just switched to Wayland and so many of the annoying X11 bugs are completely fixed, and added a couple nice features and some of new bugs
Bismuth window tiling (krohnkite fork with wayland support since krohnkite is unmaintained) has a tracked bug with dialog pop-ups not floating and instead being tiled
-
A warning for laptop + second screen users that want to try Wayland.
Hopefully this will get fixed soon, because with this fix and (for my use case) Bismuth (Krohnkite successor), Wayland is very much usable and smooth.

Recommend me a tiling wm with KDE plasma.
I love Bismuth
- How impressive that a fully loaded Plasma session uses less than 700 MB RAM as of 2021, yet everything performs buttery smooth and flying fast, plus with a gorgeous default theme.

Can I install the Window Tiling Feature on KDE Fedora?
There's also Bismuth, which includes Wayland support: https://github.com/gikari/bismuth

What's the main reason you chose Plasma?
Or use tiling KWin script, that integrates better with Plasma and additionally works on Wayland: Bismuth.

Krohnkite still does not work in Wayland, and it has not been updated in more than a year. Any alternatives? Is it Kwin's fault?
There is an active fork of Krohnkite, called Bismuth, that plans to support Wayland.
