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.

I wish someone would make a tiling desktop environment instead of only a window manager to make them easy to use for all without tweaking because they are the future of the DEs.

Everyone’s workflow is different and it could very well be that the plasma tiling features weren’t a good match for the author of that video.

My tiling needs are pretty simple and I rarely use anything more complicated than a vertical split.

There were also major changes in the plasma tiling earlier this year so if that video predates the concerns no longer apply.

You’d probably have to give it a try to see if all the features you need nicely work with a keyboard.
