- Pros:
- system trays applet already works out of the box (still customizable to some extend at least more than gnome system trays)
- very good support for Wayland and VIDIA GPUs
- easy and quick to customize and you don’t have to deal with CSS if you don’t have much time to waste
- better integrated with KDE’s softwares (Kdenlive, KDE connect, Konsole, Kate, Elisa…) which is my opinion some of the best softwares for Linux even better than Windows’s in some cases
- friendly community (mostly)
- Cons:
- you have to use KDE with Krohnkite
Never got into the tiling wm craze, but since I found out about Gnome’s PaperWM thought it was much better than tiled and traditional wms and wanted something like that for KDE. Even was thinking about doing it by myself until one day learned someone else did it and much better than I would
Did not expect KDE has a scrolling wm script for it, I think I have to check this one out thanks
I tested Karousel addon too. It works. But found out I personally do not like “endless” scrolling window management. I just loose track of the windows and organizing something (especially when working on a project) did not work for me. That is an inherent “problem” of scrolling wms for me, not this script itself. Karousel worked fine.
If you like using the mouse alot and you’re more comfortable with clicking than yeah there’s really no point in using a tiler.
If you’re someone like me who doesn’t like using a mouse and are used to VIM or Emacs for navigation then tilers make sense. In many cases using a keyboard is faster than using a mouse. OR you’re a weirdo in the middle then you’d use Krohnkite on KDE.
I disagree with this. I use keyboard shortcuts for moving my tiles and switching desktops but otherwise I use the mouse. I have found great value in using a tiler, not having to manage windows or having them overlap is awesome.
