I’m currently using Fedora KDE Plasma, but I’d like to try out a tiling window manager. What would you all reccomend? I use my computer for school, so I would like it to be stable.

    Cosmic is already more usable than most Window managers, that literally just manage Windows.

    I mean, it has apps… and GUI settings…

    There is a guy called Ryan Brue that packages all the COSMIC apps. He created a SIG and in the channel there are some COSMIC Devs helping out.

    There is a uBlue variant with COSMIC, working pretty great.

    COSMIC just breaks KDE Apps a bit. Will have to see if some package may fix them, as they are so themable that missing packages make them use aome shitty fallback theme.

      I know Cosmic is there, but it’s not even in beta. I can’t yet recommend it in good conscience, especially for OP, who is new enough not to know the difference between a distro and a DE.

      (And if you’re reading this, OP, that’s nothing to be ashamed of.)

        Hm, the compositor stuff just works

        The packages also dont interfere with others, probably? So on Fedora, just add the COPR and try them

        COSMIC is extremely stable. I had a single crash or something, and that was a while ago. It is mainly just lacking features, but that is likely already at least as good as most Window Managers like Sway, that are extremely barebones.
