Plasma 6.1 is here!
New features include a cool take on Plasma’s edit mode, keyboard LEDs that sync with accent colors, an inbuilt Remote Desktop Server that let’s you access Plasma desktops over a network, lots of bug corrections and improvements.

Man, I want to try this. But ever since I went fill tiling, scripted WM any DE that forces me to use a mouse just annoys me, no matter how pretty it is.
It’s like when you get really comfortable in vim; any other editor feels like you’ve been given a Studebaker.

Well I think it was pretty toxic how people hit you with downvotes but reflecting on it, your comment was not meant for this thread.
I do believe with a bit more info and some images, your post can be a completely new thread. I don’t know what fill tiling is or whatever that scripted WM could mean. I like your counterargument against DEs that focus on the dual interaction of mouse and keyboard that emphasizes the cursor control(inclusive of tablets and touchscreens)
I firmly believe Linux currently is much more powerful than the other major OSes is due to the fact that it can be heavily automated. So if you do end up making a thread on your DE, let me know
Thanks! Downvotes don’t bother me. I was a big KDE fan, a couple of decades ago, and plasma has been exciting to watch; I was just saying that I wish it’d been as far along when I was still interested in DEs.
There are tiling communities, so I don’t feel a deep need to expound on this; it came across my feed only because I browse World occasionally, - in the name of Eris - and I still get curious almost every announcement. And, every time I try it, it looks very pretty, but I find it counter-productive and fussy, and I end up back in herbstluftwm.
You are absolutely right about the script-ability strength of Linux, and I think KDE of pretty scritpt-able, too. It’s just not a core value, like it is in bspwm or herbstluftwm, and that makes all the difference.
Anyhoo, cheers and have a great day!

I don’t read any negative vibes from sxan’s post. I read it as him politely commenting that he likes the idea’s, but is disappointed that he can not use is preferred workflow with it easily. Everything I read was good natured and positive.
