The older videos explicitly tested early alpha and beta versions. Meanwhile it is already released as official version with their distribution. Off course there might be quirks (like KDE has in example), but its ready for productive use.

Probably depends on the species. You did not specify human, so we have to assume its alien.
You probably meant “DE” instead “IDE” (i was confused first, but think its a typo). You should look in YouTube videos to get an idea of what it is and how it works. I would say, its something GNOME 3 inspired by its look and design, but with functionality and customization inspired by KDE. Some parts might be still under cooked, as it is still early. The question is, why do you want change from KDE? This information would be crucial to give a recommendation. And only you can answer it. Maybe try it out in a virtual machine before committing installation on your main system.

2·4 days agoI did not have this on my BINGO!-card for 2026.
No, the Krohkite addon doesn’t have a configuration window to change shortcuts in the Kwin scripts section. And there is no need for anyway, as all shortcuts are in a central place of KDE shortcuts.
BTW back in KDE 5 I did that, used an alternative tiling window manager (I think it was i3wm) instead KWin. It worked, but it had its own set of problems. Not sure if it is still possible, but based on my prior experience I wouldn’t recommend it anyway. Instead the tiling script / addon Krohkite should be used, as people recommend. I use it myself (and I am a tiling window manager guy) and it works well, as it is well integrated and smooth experience in KDE.
That’s manual tiling with the mouse. It’s not the same as auto tiling like PopOS does.
Also available through KDE Settings > Window Management > KWin Scripts > [Get New…] . Installing it through this method should automatically update whenever its updated.
You change the shortcuts in the Plasma shortcuts window. Just type in the KDE shortcuts search bar “krohkite” to show matching entries only.
There was a period when KDE 6 was new and the Wayland stuff on top of it, where Kröhnkite didn’t work well. I use it since then as my daily driver and don’t have issues. Off course there might be edge cases and I do not resize windows manually much, in tiling mode. But I use floating mode too and resize windows to my liking and don’t have an issue like that.
BTW there is an fantastic “Dock” mode in Kröhkite, where you can define a window to be a dock that is always visible on the left/right or up/bottom area of all desktops; behaves similar to a normal dock from KDE Plasma. It’s a function I never saw in any other desktop environments or tilers.
Another Kröhnkite user here. I used tiling window managers before (mainly Qtile) and cannot use a desktop without auto tiling anymore.
Kröhnkite: is THE tiling addon for KDE in my experience. There was a period when it was broken and I experimented with other solutions (Polonium worked for a while, but now that thing stopped working lol and Kröhnkite works well again). You just need to setup your keybindings and configure the limited configuration itself. You can also remove the title bars and have colored outline for active window, if that is your thing. But that is not very configurable and is a weak point in my opinion.
Karousel: a scrollable tiling window manager. If that is your thing. It worked fine, I’m just not a fan of this type.
Mouse Tiler: and then there is a new and promising addon script in the works. The main selling point was and is that tiling is done manually and with mouse only. But after lot of request the dev is working on an automatic tiling system, which puts it into my radar. And I hope it will have configurable keyboard shortcuts too. Dev says the auto tiling works already and in the next days it will be updated. Didn’t try it out yet, but looks promising to me.
The Windows UX is horrible. What desktop environment do you use on Linux, that you think that Windows is better? :D
I searched the web and found this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends
Is this app 18+ only or are children allowed to find older boyfriends? How are teens and children protected?

4·6 days agoLTT - Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel tried out Linux, PopOS!. And there was a horrible outcome, where he tried to uninstall or install Steam and the dependencies would remove the entire desktop for whatever reason. Rendering the installation broken and unusable obviously. There was a big warning in the terminal, but he didn’t read and ignored it and continued.
There was lot of debate, but ultimately it was fault from both sides: ignoring warning that explains what happens, and no safeguards from the distro so this bug should not make it unusable.

3·6 days agoLOL fair enough. I guess a more friendly description of that would be “the distro must assume you don’t read everything”. Okay so that makes sense, given what happened.

32·6 days agoFor what in example? I used Windows for 8 years and then from time to time after that, plus helping my brothers computer with modern Windows. I never had to use the commandline. But maybe there are some tasks that requires it, because there is no GUI for. What would that be?
