Bismuth. Making tiling window management easy. On KDE Plasma.

Thanks to this fine person, we have a working Bismuth on Plasma 5.27. It only took the addition of one question mark to the code to bring it to life. Huge kudos to developer. Unfortunately, we will have to build Bismuth from source code. I built a package for Fedora 38, here you go, maybe someone will find it useful! ❤️

There is also Polonium, aiming to be a successor to Bismuth using kwin's native tiling. Haven't used either though.

not so feature-rich and stable yet but gets job done.

Fixed the title 👌😃

It definitely stopped working on Wayland. Sure it still had basic 50% functionality, but it was very broken. Apparently the patch fixes that! Great news!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
