Is there a good tiled window manager for KDE such as Pop Shell for Gnome? That's the only thing keeping me back on gnome.


Plasma 5.27 added in some native tiling support. There are also some kwin scripts available to add tiling to it.

I can vouch for Bismuth being pretty good. I need a 3 column tiling for my ultra wide and it works well for that.

Hotkeys allow for easy switching on and off and between tile styles. Still intend to try native tiling soon.


To use the tiling tool you can press `Win/Super + t`, I believe that is the default stroke.


I've been using Plasma for over a year and did not notice that, wow.

Now if only I could make it behave like i3 with regards to a few things... time for research


Bismuth works for now but is effectively abandoned.


And so is krohnkite (as far as I've heard)

But thew new tiling tool is very nice. And it will probably be augmented in the future.

There will be a bit of a pause in feature releases for KDE now though, as they are working on Qt 6 compatibility which will take longer than usual.
