• 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

    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.
