    No.

    Well, OK, yes we can talk about it, but you’re buying the beer.

    And yes, tiling windows in KDE it is pretty good. But I would prefer the option of having a toggle on window decorations (unless there is one, but I missed it). I prefer my tiling windows to be undecorated, and my floating windows to be decorated.

    What are the benefits to this instead of a TWM? Just curious since I’ve been seeing a few people singing it’s praises, and wanted to know why I’d use it over a traditional TWM.

      You get a full desktop environment, which is preconfigured, has better connected parts, and includes GUIs for things like settings.

        Ahhhh, okay. Definitely not what I’m after but I’m glad the middle ground exists for most people who aren’t insane lmao.

        I will argue on the better connected parts bit though. Most apps designed for TWMs are intentionally very generic, minimal, and simple, making them blend together very nicely. Especially if you theme them, which is very easy to do in most cases.

          I think ‘better connected’ refers more to feature integration rather than looks. Stuff like KDE Connect.

    Are you tiling everytime from scratch when you reboot? Windows not ending up where they have been last time? How can you call that #tiling? I tried it and its horribly compared to any decent #twm.
