[Plasma] I'm afraid of using a "real" tiling window manager. My main desktop (lemmy.ca)

That looks like it was annoying to place the windows

KDE has some built in tiling functions now. No where near what the tiling WM's are but you're able to define a layout and snap them into place.

Well that's cool, though for me the advantage of a tiling window manager is how dynamic it is. I can switch desktops, switch windows, resize windows, toggle full screen, change layouts, and move windows all with quick keystrokes or key+mouse combinations. If I had to choose my layout ahead of time I'd be sad, because what I want on my screen and where I want it is constantly changing

Snap them manually into place everytime you boot your machine, this is worsen than stacking! I am using it right now because I haven't set up a #twm on my desktop yet. Its ridiculous.
