I was an i3 and sway user but I lapsed to the dark side.
I tried KDE with Krohnkite tilling extension on a new laptop and liked it way too much. It’s slowly becoming my main DE.
It’s configured with i3 shortcuts of course, so there’s that.
I've been wanting to do that
(i3 user here with dynamic composition of config file based on content of my "dotfiles" repo acroos my devices, and deciding some parts of it (like screen config) by the localhost name).
Can you tell me more about your experience? KDE ds indeed sexy. Calibre, okular and kde-connect sure are).
Well that was my main motivation to try KDE, everything is working fine out of the box and is highly configurable/rice-able.
It just needed that tiling wm love. So far I have nothing really bad to say about this configuration. You can have a very i3 feeling by adding gaps, rounded corners, removing title bars, have transparency or blur etc. Or you can do a mix of both worlds to make it easier for the rest of your household (example, having title bars makes the windows movable by mouse. I kept them for my significant other, she hates not being able to choose the windows size but it makes it easier for her to watch YouTube…)
Keyboard shortcuts are configured in kde settings, so there will be conflicts at first between "normal kde" binds and tilling plugin binds, but nothing impossible to change.
I haven’t seen any bugs, my dual screen is working great. I have yet to finish my personalization but I’m at about 80% and it as become my daily driver for working.
I am not certain about your different config by localhost as I now sync the dotfiles and packages across the two pc (laptop + mini pc) which are the same hardware and so, exact same look and feels. When not in laptop mode they share the same dual screens so it makes sense to me.
The only downside I see is that it relies on a community GitHub. The one I linked is the only one I found to be updated. There are plenty of forks or similar projects not updated since 2022.
So unless KDE officially does it one day (and does it well), we have to use community plugins and hope that they stay updated.

EXWM is probably even more obscure, although emacs users are the exact kinda people you should protect your computer from.
Tried this once, sort of. But it was in wmii. I switched workspace, and then my friend wanted the browser, so I say go ahead. He presses the little 2 down in the corner, I did not even know it was clickable, and that happens to be the workspace with the browser.
For this reason i kinda like using pass + pass-otp as my password manager as well. I mean regardless they still need to know my master password of course, but on top of that they most likely won't even know how to use it since it cli based.
no pedos in my memes pls
Or both...
Yeah, that's exactly me
