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.

A couple of questions regarding Bismuth tiling extension
I said I was using kwin-tiling-script, and yes, it does have that—I use[d] it all the time (it's called "Grid" layout)
-
Manjaro / KDE — hard to dislike
If you're referring to kwin-tiling the author has archived that as of end of 2022 and it's unmaintained. It's not really anything KDE did on purpose except to do the usual updates and that's broken an unmaintained project.

Does KDE have a (official or non-official) tiling mode?
I use kwin tiling

What features is KDE missing according to you
If you are ready to sacrifice gaps (and some other advanced features like taking away title bar from tiled windows) and run multi monitor, then I would suggest kwin-tiling. It has no settings, but out of the box with changing hotkeys similar to i3wm you can get great tiling experience (it even supports moving window from monitor to monitor using meta+shift+hjkl if it hits on the border)
-
Is there a way to increase/decrease the opacity value of one window with the keyboard?
The last DE I used before jumping to bspwm was KDE with kwin-tiling and one of the features I miss is the ability to change "on the fly" the opacity of a given window with keyboard shortcuts.
-
What tiling window method to go for?
I like KWin-Tiling-Script (https://github.com/kwin-scripts/kwin-tiling), but Bismuth has better desktop integration and is more popular.

Arch + Tiling Window Manager
Before making the jump to a tiling WM , I think you should use a tiling KWin script for KDE. It will help you get used to a tiling WM but still have the familiarity of KDE. https://github.com/kwin-scripts/kwin-tiling is a good one that I use.

Indeed. This has served me well: https://github.com/kwin-scripts/kwin-tiling

Easy to config tiling wm
If you can get past some minor wayland related annoyances, river is pretty easy imo, you can write a config in whatever format you want, it just needs to be an executable file, the most common type is a shell script. The actual configuration happens by calling the riverctl program from the file, which from what I've heard is a similar method compared to bspwm.

Questions about availability of specific functionalities in swaywm (and wayland at all)
Coming from awesome you may find river more to your liking than sway.

Chromium / Electron on Wayland causes crash of the whole OS
River crashed everytime I closed Chromium. The developer fixed it in 5 minutes :)
-
I may have taken plugins too far...
I've written a plugin that implements the river-layout-v3 wayland protocol in Hyprland. This means you can run something like rivertile, river-luatile, rivercarro or kile as a layout provider.

Master and Stack setup
Author here. And yeah, as of 0.6.0 it supports master stack - I just called it stack main. I was in fact inspired by river: https://github.com/riverwm/river. River is really promising but is still in very early development. Sway on the other hand has been around for a long time and I, for now, prefer that stability.
-
Has anyone managed to get Hyprland working on void?
In my very specific case, I'd probably start by taking a look at how animations were previously implemented in river, and then I'd pay careful attention to that transform matrix at the end. I'm not super crazy about the implementation using timers to drive it (versus interpolating where the transform should be across a deadline), but I guess they were going for smoothness.
