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
Polonium and Bismuth do not swap out KWin, though. They are KWin scripts, which manipulate windows via the API provided by KWin.
I used to use Bismuth, because it lets me recreate the auto-tiling functionalities I had in i3wm. KWin 5.27 brought support for tiling, but it’s not automatic, so a KWin script is still needed for auto-tiling.
This is a script for KWin, not a replacement for KWin (you use the script with KWin)
