I’ve been using Linux for a over a decade, but haven’t used anything Gnomey in a while. I gave PopOS another try the other day because I needed a simple distro to put on a home PC for my partner to use. This is the most usable Gnome distro I have ever found!
I won’t be switching myself anytime soon, but I really like the way the tiles on Cosmic expand to always keep the screen full. I know KDE can tile using shortcuts, but have ant of you come across something on KDE that autoresizes the tiles like Pop does?
KDE has native tiling built in. Simply press the (default) hotkey Win+T to set up your tiling zones, and then hold shift while moving a window and it’ll snap into that area.
Should note that this is still a manual process. For auto-tiling, you want e.g. Krohnkite.
Not familiar with PopOS Tiling, but my goto tiling for KDE is Krohnkite It can be installed inside of KDE via Settings / Kwin Scripts / “Get new…” It has lots of keyboard shortcut and of course you can change them.
How do you change the keyboard shortcuts in Krohnkite?
You change the shortcuts in the Plasma shortcuts window. Just type in the KDE shortcuts search bar “krohkite” to show matching entries only.
