This community's purpose is to band together users, new users and soon to be users of different window managers with the purpose to help each other out on Lemmy.

As of now I have been subscribing to respective release feeds and the likes to receive fresh updates and post them here, and also some beginner guides I have been brewing for some time now.

Feel free to post anything related and even barely related.

Not expecting this community to grow large as window managers are a comparatively a niche topic, but at least to keep it real and organic.

For any questions or ideas you can send me direct message.

Happy New Year and for all bugs to to be fixed soon! (lemmy.zip)

Plasma activities are STILL broken (self.windowmanagers)

I don't need any fancy tiling window managers. One fullscreen window per desktop, and 12 virtual desktops, that was my workflow for 10 years. Then I incorporated KDE activities into my workflow, which are exactly like virtual desktops but switched with Meta-Tab not with Ctrl-F1 - Ctrl-F12. Wonderful!

And then, Plasma devs broke it. Switching activities now puts my foreground fullscreen window (one per desktop) into background, and switches keyboard focus to the desktop. Give me back my keyboard shortcuts, and you could also rename Plasma back to KDE while you're at it, thank you very much.

At least there is a bug opened, but it's doubtful that Plasma devs will fix it before Debian 13 release. I can't even find motivation to update my OS anymore.
