    BSPWM + lxqt/ xfce (lxqt recommended)

    You’ll also need SXHKD for better and easier shortcut handling

      Linux developers can’t name their products any better than they name their variables.

      “Programming done, time to publish, now it just needs a name…” briefly pauses, then smashes face into keyboard… “There! … ehh, no, still missing something.” clicks random spot, types X… “Perfect! Send it!”

        On KDE, I’d recommend getting a KWin Script for tiling. Krohnkite is what people use currently.

        It’s not as buttery smooth as dedicated tiling window managers and it can be a bit glitchy at times, but it is better than one might expect and significantly easier (and likely less glitchy) than trying to get bspwm to work in Plasma.

        Technically you could changethe window manager of KDE Plasma to BSPWM, but I wouldn’t recommend it as it is such a tightly knit package
