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

Oh yes, that tiling issue is solved (if you had the same as me, but you probably had). I had huge tiling issues in the beginning of the transition phase from its codebase KDE 5 to 6 and on top of it on Wayland. It's noteworthy that Kwin developers specifically addressed issues with Krohnkite, and even noted that in the update notes. I am using it quite some time now (a year or longer maybe) and it works basically correctly like any other standalone tiler.

Just my personal experience on a single monitor, as I am single. (yes I wrote that, just to make a joke, but I really use one monitor only)
