    Chill dude. Bismuth for Plasma 5 was amazing, and Polonium is shaping up to be a great succesor on Plasma 6. This is open source. You can fight and support your cause. But your attitude would make Pop Shell devs burn their own project down out of fear 😅.

      Bismuth for Plasma 5

      Nah. I couldn’t get behind Bismuth either. You had rigid ways you could arrange your windows with no way to adjust.

      For instance, you can’t get a layout like this with Bismuth (or any dynamic tilers that I know of, i.e. dynamic tilers aren’t worth using):

      ---------------------------------------
      | A                    | B            |
      |                      |--------------|
      |----------------------| C            |
      | E        | F         |--------------|
      |          |           | J    |   K   |
      ---------------------------------------
      

      The closest in Bismuth would be using master and slave like:

      ---------------------------------------
      | A                    | B            |
      |                      |--------------|
      |                      | C            |
      |----------------------|--------------|
      | E                    | J            |
      |----------------------|--------------|
      | F                    | K            |
      ---------------------------------------
      

      Which isn’t nearly as useful

      I gave Plasma a genuine, honest try, both 5 and 6, and it was a complete let down.

      Nah bc the Pop Shell devs have done an AMAZING job. The new COSMIC will make KDE and GNOME look like pet projects when it drops.
