KDE is genuinely really good now. As fully featured desktop environments go it’s right up there with the commercial offerings.
Unfortunately I’ve moved on and I don’t want that anymore. A minimalist tiling desktop like sway or i3 suits me much better. Particularly on a touchpad where dragging windows is a faff.
I have to say, the Plasma desktop is very polished and mostly works as I want it to. The amount of knobs I can tweak to set it up just as I want is not far off from minimalistic WMs.
For window tiling, Bismuth[1] looks interesting, though I've yet to give it a try.
There are some major issues, though, like random freezes and the compositor failing sometimes, which might be caused by Intel drivers, but I'm hoping that switching to Wayland might resolve it.
I'd really like this to be my main productivity environment, as when it works, the experience is pretty slick.
