I install Fedora Workstation and change nothing. I'm pretty happy with GNOME in that case. KDE has been too fiddley for me the last few times I tried it. It's there a distro that has a default KDE setup that feels minimal and out of the way?
I have both versions of the workstation and KDE one is less broken, more functional and less annoying to use daily. I patiently await when the projects that require my current software packages end so I can wipe my home and go manjaro or something.
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.
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
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've tried bismuth and krohnkite, they're still the "grab bag of canned layouts" type of tiling extension, pop shell lets me build a binary tree with arbitrary splits and tabs like I could do in sway or hyprland and as far as I know the clunky built-in snap zone menu is the closest thing that's available for plasma
It works perfectly again and is available in the kwin-scripts store under its old name krohnkite. IIRC it hadn't a btree layout before. Now it does. It's the best tiling solution for KDE. I tried most of them.
Hint: :q!
