This week in KDE: “More Wayland fixes”

  KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm.

  

I've used bspwm for many years now, and recently started experimenting with KDE on NixOS.

I have to say, the Plasma desktop is very polished and mostly works as I want it to. The amount of knobs I can tweak to set it up just as I want is not far off from minimalistic WMs.

For window tiling, Bismuth[1] looks interesting, though I've yet to give it a try.

There are some major issues, though, like random freezes and the compositor failing sometimes, which might be caused by Intel drivers, but I'm hoping that switching to Wayland might resolve it.

I'd really like this to be my main productivity environment, as when it works, the experience is pretty slick.

Yeah I remember activities from over a decade ago. I don't recall ever being able to get it to work right.

I ended up writing my own WM instead: https://github.com/BurntSushi/wingo
