minus-squareKnusper@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up22arrow-down1·1 year agoThere are already ways to have tiling and a DE. On GNOME, there’s PaperWM, although it’s not quite traditional tiling either. On KDE Plasma 5.27+, you can use Polonium. For versions before 5.27, Bismuth. And on Xfce or LXQt, it’s often possible to use them with a traditional tiling WM, like i3wm, bspwm etc…

minus-squaretheDodosConundrum@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSeconding Pop Shell. Very simple install via Gnome extension and it works wonderfully on my daily driver Ubuntu install.
