    afaik KDE still doesn’t have any tolerable way to tile windows on wayland

    if i need to open a menu to set up zones you are doing it wrong. if i have to pick from premade layouts you are doing it wrong. pop shell on gnome would be perfect if it wasn’t married to gnome and slowly rotting over time: i can pick up a window, drag it to where i want to put it in the binary tiling tree, and it goes there.

      Rip bismuth. It worked almost perfectly in plasma5 and with rewrites in plasma6 it broke and the dev didn’t want to rewrite it.

      I had to install software that allowed installing extentions and then try out all the extentions until I got a tiling window manager that was not crap on gnome. And then I had to make my own presets.

      unpopular opinion probably, but I like the configurable zones approach. it’s probably because I’m used to fancyzones on my work pc and have gotten used to it.

      every time I try to become a cool kid and use i3 or some other tiling wm variant, I get frustrated and go right back to plasma

        My main issue with the zones is for some inexplicable reason one cannot save their template. You’re stuck with the default ones, and – at least in my case on Fedora – the custom one you set up tends to reset on reboot (not always, which is also ?? unless somehow it gets affected by OS updates?).
