Awesome, congrats to the team. I don’t use it anymore but I’ll always have a soft spot for PopOS as being the distro that finally made me a Linux fulltimer. I really wish KDE would implement their tiling system.
You’ve tried that KDE tiling addon / app and it’s not for you, I guess?
Krohnkite? It unfortunately doesn’t have anywhere near the polish and ease of use as the PopOS implementation, for example its easy toggling between tiling and stacking. Nobody comes close to the way PopOS has done it.
Krohnkite is fine and all but it’s quite janky with certain programs.
Krohnkite is incredibly janky, I tried it recently and it made all the window animations lag. Also every third boot or so it would fully stop kwin from starting, and lead to a black screen on login.
How is it called?
