Why are Tiling window managers so praised? (lemmy.today)

I'm currently using kde and am loving it but online i keep on seeing people say, just get "hyprland or sway". I want to know why they are so praised compared to a normal DE and why people praise the productivity of them.

Yeah they do look clean and minimal. They do level up a system in how you can change the looks and it organizes the system by itself rather than having floating windows, but why are they "essential for every linux user?"

I find that KDE's default keybinds make sense to me:

  • meta + PageUp = maximize
  • meta + Arrow Key = the active window tiles around the screen. (when done with multiple windows, they can be resized with each other!)

I have not tried used a tiling window manager. KDE fucks :)

Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
