kde tilling features needs some attention
Then in late 2022 KWin independently got some basic (manual) tiling functionality of its own. There are new scripts appearing, such as kwin-autotile, that build on this and extend it.

I am a little concerned about Tiling on KDE 6
Instead KWin offers basic yet-useful tiling features, like for your wide screen case and an API to allow third-party programs to extend on top, so other people in the community can build upon it. This has already started https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/kwin-autotile/.

Auto-Tiling Script for KDE 5.27?
Have you had a look at https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/kwin-autotile?

Plasma 5.27.4 Auto Tiling, how to stop random window placement
This works quite well with the new tiling features in 5.27: https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/kwin-autotile

A couple of questions regarding Bismuth tiling extension
KWin's tiling engine is just an engine. By itself it supports only manual tiling. Scripts are beginning to appear to make use of it; if you like kwin-tiling-script and you're on Wayland, check out Autotile.

Are there any forks of Bismuth that work better with plasma 5.27.2?
not perfect, but try this https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/kwin-autotile it make's tile from your current layout with native plasma tiling.

kde tilling features needs some attention
KWin used to have no tiling capabilities at all and people came up with lots of add-on scripts like kwin-tiling, Grid-Tiling-KWin, Krohnkite, Bismuth and so on. This gave users tiling, but it was always a bit hackish, getting KWin to do something it wasn't designed to do.

What are your favorite kwin scripts?

Any good Kwin Tiling scripts?
Personally I use Grid-Tiling-Kwin, which is working great with Wayland. Not sure why it won't allow more than 2 splits horizontally/2 splits vertically, though.

I'm thinking about DE hopping to KDE. Please convince me not to.
I only had issues a few times when installing new theme or icons. Desktop widgets might sometimes move a bit after restart, other than that it works well. I also use https://github.com/lingtjien/Grid-Tiling-Kwin

Lightweight tiling WM for a noob - recommendation
For starters, there is a couple of tiling scripts for KWin (Kröhnkite and Grid-Tiling). You can also turn any EWMH-compliant WM into a tiling one with PyTyle.

Is it just me, or notifications are stealing focus in Wayland?
Also have noticed that when a notification shows up, an entry on the window list plasmoid shows up too - so it could be that they got kind of a regular window behavior somehow. This behavior is reported in bug #411462, which I think is the cause of another issue I'm having (using Grid-Tiling-Kwin and when opening a plasmoid, it wants to fill a space as if it were a regular window, and it messes up with the layout of previously opened windows) but am not sure if it's related to the focus stealing issue.

How secure is the new KDE Plasma Tiling Extension "Bismuth" due to npm?
Note that there are at least other alternative. Maybe not as powerful as I imagine Bismuth/Krohnite is, the one I use, [Grid-tiling-kwin](https://github.com/lingtjien/Grid-Tiling-Kwin) (though it's being funny lately with Wayland and not sure why)

~/.config/kwinrc being rewritten (by latte?)
Perhaps a working kwin script - for example, I use Grid-Tiling-Kwin and for some reason while in use it keeps rewriting that file.

Noob need help !!
Tiling window managers take a lot of time to learn and configure, and typically require configuration through text files. I would not recommend starting with a true tiling WM. You can use System76's Pop tiling GNOME extension, which still allows you to use the mouse to drag windows as well as add tiling exceptions, or you can install KDE and use Grid-Tiling-KWin. Krohnkite also works, but it might be a little too advanced. Grid-Tiling allows you to meta-drag windows around to change their positions rather than relying entirely on keyboard shortcuts, just like the Pop tiling.
What are some alternatives?
bismuth - KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm.
