• Pros:
  1. system trays applet already works out of the box (still customizable to some extend at least more than gnome system trays)
  2. very good support for Wayland and VIDIA GPUs
  3. easy and quick to customize and you don’t have to deal with CSS if you don’t have much time to waste
  4. better integrated with KDE’s softwares (Kdenlive, KDE connect, Konsole, Kate, Elisa…) which is my opinion some of the best softwares for Linux even better than Windows’s in some cases
  5. friendly community (mostly)
  • Cons:
  1. you have to use KDE with Krohnkite

    I wanted to give tiling a chance. I decided to use Krohnkite for a week to give it a chance. At first I didn’t care for tiling but quickly got into it and now I love it. Sometimes to really know if something is going to work for you or not, you have to give it some time. I’ve used this approach for other things (not all work out) but for Krohnkite it did for me. Also, don’t forget to check out all the Krohnkite options.

      Now that you ‘get it’, can you explain to someone like me who still doesn’t get it, why they might want to use a tiling wm?

        Its less work to use keyboard shortcuts to arrange/navigate windows in tiling than it is to use a mouse + alt-tab. Window sizing and placement is something you think about a lot less. Its very fast to flip through various preset window arrangements and usually that’s good enough for whatever task.

        I find tiling more efficient because

        1. I can have predetermined layouts per desktop where my often used programs are.
        2. I only have to purposely move windows out of the way if I’ve made the floating on purpose, and
        3. Less mouse use and more keyboard use for changing the layout, resizing windows, changing to another window …

        The more I use tiling, the more advantages I find. At this point I think I could use any desktop as long as I had Krohnkite functioning tiling.
