May I ask why? I've been trying this one too (nothing serious), but I think I do like Bismuth better due to all the different layouts

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Bismuth is better for those of us who want dynamic tiling.

Unfortunately, the developer no longer wants to maintain it, and while it's still working through KDE gaining a tiling API (that doesn't do anything dynamically, also what Polonium uses) for the most part, who knows how long it'll last...

Bismuth was broken for a while on KDE 5.27, which opened space for Polonium to gain some adopters. There's a long thread about the future of Bismuth. Unless someone else takes the lead, it'll be unlikely it'll keep working reliably on Plasma 6 and Wayland, at least during this transition phase.

Hmm for now I encountered no errors, but I'll consider Polonium and seeing if I can use another light wm (although TBH I don't know this world that much, so I don't know what nice wm exists that has this kind of cycling layouts behavior)

They're all text config driven. Check out archcraft, dude sells arch presets for a lot of rolling managers and you can donate 25 cents to get one.

how did you got rid of the huge terminal top border, please, I need more terminal per terminal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'm using Bimuth window decoration theme. You can also toggle that setting for specific windows with Plasma in System Settings/Shortcuts/Kwin/Toggle title bar and window frame (or something like that, I use this in Spanish). You can also customize this configuration per application.
