Bismuth alternative for KWin 5.27 - Polonium v0.5.0 (zeroxoneafour.github.io)

This Father's Day update has several features and critical bugfixes. It is highly recommended to update to this release if using Polonium v0.4.0. If you are experiencing bugs with Bismuth in 5.27 but have not tried out Polonium, now would be a great time as well!

Why would I swap out KWin? Serious question.

I remember a while ago someone was writing an alternative with funding from Valve too

This is a script for KWin, not a replacement for KWin (you use the script with KWin)

zeroxoneafour, thank you, man. Your work is awesome! ❤️

Wow I just tried it and this update has all the features I need, really a great improvement over the last one, may be the time to leave bismuth.

One thing I still miss is a monocle layout, basically every window is maximized, anyway great work!
