They’re for us dorks who like to like to chase efficiency in both screen real estate and keyboard navigation. A nice TWM combined with either a 21:9 or (my personal favorite) 16:18 ratio is pure bliss.
It’s literally two panels without a bezel between. You can run full-screen with one input, or go into PIP mode and drive each individual panel with a different input.
On a more serious note, this is a genuine recommendation. I’ve been using Krohnkite and similar scripts for a few years now, and they’re absolutely fine, especially since Plasma 6 introduced a native, manual tiling mechanism, which they just have to configure.
Especially for newbies wanting to try out tiling window management, without having to figure out a minimalist environment like a bare window manager, this is a great entrypoint IMHO.
I just prefer tiling windows managers idk
right? I thought twms were almost exclusively for workflow efficiency only and this was like 15 years ago lol

Just give me more monitors and I’m happy.
That’s fine. I’m running two DualUps (16:18) with a TWM, and it’s amazing. I wish they weren’t a discontinued display, or else I’d add a third.
So that’s effectively 2 monitors in a single case?
Stop, I can only get so erect.

KDE Plasma can do that, too, via a KWinscript: https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite 🙃
