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

Best tiling extensions for kwin?
Hi, I'm using "Tiling from Faho", it has also i3 mod. For additional info visit kwin-tiling (for enabling settings buttons see last section Troubleshooting).
sway
- Sway is an i3-compatible Wayland compositor
- Sway 1.9 Release
- Sway 1.9
-
"We understand" ;)
This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.
-
Firefox on the Brink?
I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.
I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

Sourcing dot profile on sway starutp
I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

Option to not scale xwindow clients still out of the question?
So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

What Desktop Environment or Window Manager do you use on your Arch Linux System and why?
I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

On Desktop GUI Minimalism
Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway
From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
