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

I love AwesomeWM as a window manager. It's pretty easy, even for a complete beginner. I highly recommend.

Looks amazing, from a person scared of "real" tiling window managers to another lol. Also, what is that dashboard with shortcuts called, again? I swear I've seen it before as a Heimdall/Homer alternative but can't recall for the life of me...

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.

windows were never meant to overlap, the desktop was never meant to be looked at. do not fear the real tiling window manager. sooner or later, you'll make the switch.
