thanks for the update on tiling in kde; big big help, changed myself a couple of days ago from Endeavouros to Nixos with KDE and tiling is what I was missing, other tiling solutions worked as well but not as good as Polonium, keep up the good work
Oh Bismuth was absolutely amazing! I hope for the sake of Plasma users that Polonium becomes as good as Bismuth was. It’s too bad that’s it’s no longer being maintained 🙃
The reason the tiling does not work for you is that it does not Auto tile. You have to hold the shift key and drag the window with your mouse for it to happen which is kind of silly, but yea.
Hmm.. this is noce. I wonder what will happen with it when Plasma 6 comes out. I mean, from the likes it looks that Polonium is integrating to Kwin like some extension (key bindings are in the Kwin menu), so when we upgrade Plasma what is expected to happen with it? Any ideas/thoughts? Also, what happens with improvements that the KDE team implements to Kwin, will it breaks Polonium?
regarding you panel issue with vm the panel will hide even if it is not set to auto hide, don't know the reason of i doen't hiding but i just tested it right now for me it works (to be noted my panel is at bottom )
Qtile. Been using it for a couple of years now, I've played around with other twm's, but I've never really found one that I like more than Qtile. It's just nice. And thanks man! I appreciate it!
KDE tiling feature is a laugh. It's a pity bismuth doesn't work on Wayland. I've tried Polonium, but unfortunately it tents to spread mini-sized windows randomly on the the desktop
Yeah bismuth was amazing. When I made this video, Polonium was in its infancy so maybe it’s gotten better recently? I know I had some layout issues with it too when I tried. The native KDE tiling is horrendous lol I’m hoping that there is a good alternative by the time Plasma 6 comes out.
Yeah, Bismuth was amazing and unfortunately it doesn't work for Wayland. Polonium isn't really all that bad, it has autotiling but nothing like Bismuth does (which is weird since it's Bismuths' "predecessor") but I digress.
Ah yes, PopOS has a place in my heart. That was the first distro I used. I actually just moved back to Gnome myself recently. I’m stoked for System76 to release the Cosmic Desktop for Pop!
@@blakehensley me too :) but the wait is too long. My vim version is at 0.6 in POPOS while Debian stable has a 0.7 version. That's mental. I am getting itched to move out of POP into Arch again. I used to run EOS with i3 spin but I left if for some reason at the time. May be its time to go home :)
@@Little-bird-told-me I haven't used EOS in awhile. I only used EOS back when I was running Qtile because for the longest time I could never get my volume keys to work on vanilla Arch. This video is vanilla Arch on Plasma.

Totally understand. Once you use tiling (either a window manager or a plugin) it’s super tough to go back to floating windows.
6:00 you can switch on window decoration after setting border selected - "dark-one" is a good for for tiling
Good to see KDE have a new replacement for Bismuth, but I have already switched to Hyprland, after the change to Plasma 27 😅

Yeah, I also found out that if you do Super+Shift+Space then you can until/tile windows easily.
thank you! how can i change layout? for me it shows 3 collumns
I would like something like Window's "fancy zones" for KDE
I’ve heard others say that. I’ve never personally used, or seen for that matter, the “fancy zones” from Window’s so I have no idea what they’re like.
I believe this is built-into KDE as their native "Tiling" behavior.
@@MrSpontaneous You are correct. Its win+t
Nice, I'll try it when i build new ISO for test.
Give that wall paper

i like your wallpaper
Thanks, man. You can get that one and a few others over in my repos. codeberg.org/thelinuxfraud/wallpapers/nord
kwin is the window manager that Plasma uses by default.
When you open a window hold shift and it will go into its slot
regarding you panel issue with vm the panel will hide even if it is not set to auto hide, don't know the reason of i doen't hiding but i just tested it right now for me it works (to be noted my panel is at bottom )
Yeah I thought it was supposed to auto hide no matter what as well. Maybe it was because on that system I was running Wayland
Hey bro what window manager do you use ? Btw nice content 🎉❤
Qtile. Been using it for a couple of years now, I've played around with other twm's, but I've never really found one that I like more than Qtile. It's just nice. And thanks man! I appreciate it!
IF it's NOT auto- tiling-- it's NOT TILING- it's just moving things.. and I hate key combo crap or having to actually grab it and move it.

I just got kde 6 and there IS NO BISMUTH or any of that now-- LOST my tiling-- so I'm leaving kde.

What panel/dock are you using?
That was just the default panel for Plasma.
link that wallpaper 🙏
I get my wallpapers from this guys git repo 👌 github.com/theglitchh/Nord-Wallpapers
good looks! @@blakehensley
Great channel Nice work. I love tiling layouts but KDE is too complex for me. Am a Gnome guy with POPos. But great work again

@@Little-bird-told-me Yeah I completely understand, since I've moved to Arch I haven't been able to leave.
@@blakehensley I wonder though, Why do you use EOS Plasma when you can install Arch with KDE directly or using archinstall script ?
