I really want to like tiling window managers but I can never get into them. All my windows are full screen except the terminals.
I guess if I had some ultra wide 48 inch monster, it would be useful.

Hyprland 0.48 Adds A "Application Not Responding" Dialog, Better Color Management
(www.phoronix.com)
for me tiling WMs are great for full screen and/or terminal based workflows. to me they’re more about minimizing UI clutter and facilitating a mostly keyboard based interface.
I run Hyprland on my framework 13, and I really love using it over a normal DE like Plasma, mainly because I dont have to use the Touchpad for trivial things like opening an application or dragging around windows. It all just automatically tiles itself, and if the apps get too small I just move some of them to a new window
Like, big menus with colors and Logos for every app may be useful if I dont know what I want to do on my PC, but since I know what I want when I open it, I can just use rofis extremely good search to just type what I want and open the app (for example, if I want to scan using Naps2, I just type Scanner and it shows Naps2)
I like tiling systems, but setting up the entire environment from scratch just gets in the way of what i actually wanna do. I’ve settled on using Plasma with Krohnkite, and it’s been perfect for me
