my reason why you should use KDE+Krohnkite instead of WMs (lemmy.ml)

  • Pros:
  1. system trays applet already works out of the box (still customizable to some extend at least more than gnome system trays)
  2. very good support for Wayland and VIDIA GPUs
  3. easy and quick to customize and you don't have to deal with CSS if you don't have much time to waste
  4. 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
  5. friendly community (mostly)
  • Cons:
  1. you have to use KDE with Krohnkite

It's definitely not perfect. 9 times out of 10, its great, but in that 1 time, it breaks in quite spectacular ways.

I've been a massive supporter of Plasma almost ever since I started using linux all together, but with the recent Cosmic releases, native tiling has been quite an appealing feature. If things improve there towards full release, and beyond, my nix setup is all ready to be switched
