latte-dock VS Parachute

Go and look at the repo on the github or invent.kde.org . If you want

the KDE team took over it and has commits from last week Source.

Yes, I'm on 5.27. I don't know about Latte being deprcated by the original dev, but it still seems to be maintained... there are commits in the last few months in the github repo

You can tell I'm a beginner lol. I installed latte dock on Kubuntu using the official installation script (https://github.com/KDE/latte-dock/blob/master/INSTALLATION.md). I don't like it so I want to remove it but I have no idea how? If I run sudo apt remove latte-dock it just says latte-dock is not installed. Any idea?

Do I need Latte Dock for this theme?

I am trying to build latte-dock from the https://invent.kde.org/plasma/latte-dock on my debian sid system and try to make some modifications.

I think this script (demoed here) might be something that you'd want to look into. However, development is paused and I've no idea if it currently works. Still, you might add a link to the script in the bug report and perhaps contact Nate Graham to let him know this exists.

5.24 brought the amazing Overview effect to Plasma, it's beautiful and useful. With Parachute breaking in 5.23 the Overview effect was highly anticipated and now that it's native, a user no longer needs to install a separate Kwin script to get this awesome virtual desktop switcher / window previewer.

Parachute has been paused, any forks or similar projects?

parachute script and toggle-parachute.

Your answer reminded me of this subject being discussed on the Parachute effect github on this issue.

you can try using parachute, it will show you your desktop wallpaper with blur plus it has more functionality (krunner) and looks better in my opinion. It also works with the compositor turned off https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute

This one does the job, but seems to be abandoned, sadly: https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute

My fusuma config: I have configured fusuma to move to right virtual desktop on three finger swipe right, left virtual desktop on three finger swipe left, run parachute (MacOS like overview) on three finger swipe up, and show desktop on three finger swipe down. In order to do so, I had to configure KDE shortcuts, parachute automatically adds ctrl+super+d shortcut and if I correctly remember, KDE has meta + d to show desktop by default . My config is as follows:

All I really wanted was a workspace picker the one in Windows 10, Elementary OS, MacOS, GNOME, and Deepin. I wanted to avoid installing Parachute because just I don't enjoy tweaking my desktop, digging through settings, or troubleshooting; I just want the defaults to work because I couldn't actually get Parachute to work. (Yes, I know what activities are and how they work, but they're not what I'm looking for.)
