  • i3-and-kde-plasma

    How to install the i3 window manager on KDE

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • bismuth

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

    There’s also Bismuth, a Krohnkite fork that’s actively maintained: https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth

  • bspwm

    A tiling window manager based on binary space partitioning

    There are many programs that have separate toolkits or popups. Steam, Dia and Android Studio comes to mind. Steam worked correctly in almost all instances though, if I remember right. Not that Firefox About-page isn't that big of a deal, but many login pages (which get really out of place when force-tiled) and addons have popups. Quick deal breaker for me was Android Emulator, which apparently can be fixed now. I might give bspwm another shot seeing that solution.
