From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE + bismuth
Oh, nice! Does this work regardless of X/Wayland?
Heads up though, might be headed towards extinction with the manual tiling added in 5.27 https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth/issues/471#issuecomment-1410969462
Polonium seems to be a possible successor: https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/polonium
I use it with X, I think I will have to rework the stack when i will switch to Wayland.
Here is my config: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-dot-files#tiling
I don't think It will be useless even if KDE add basic tiling, there are layout and shortcuts that will be useful anyway.
Thank you for polonium! I will check it out!
Cool, I was wondering when someone would create a successor to bismuth. KDE Plasma + Bismuth was my daily driver for a long time until 5.27.
