So I did some fiddling around with KDE and managed to turn it into a really decent tiling WM using the Krohnkite KWin script.

My main gripe with hyprland and the likes, plus all the panels like waybar, nwg-panels, hyprpanel etc. was their barebones nature and the complete lack of responsiveness - no useful context menus, barely any customisation unless you spend way too much time writing CSS and bash scripts, no integration with the rest of the system.

Krohnkite solves that by giving you proper tiling inside an actual complete desktop environment.

The only caveat is that you cannot shift focus from a window on one screen to a window on another screen, you have to use the "switch screen" combination instead, and I haven't found yet how to make the mouse cursor move to the window along with the focus.
