Tried it - it works, but isn't toggleable like the PopOS tiling which has a taskbar button and a hotkey.

Keybind the floating layout in settings and it will act as a toggle! (Taskbar button I dont have a solution for tho) However krohnkite still isnt anywhere near the polish of an actual tiling wm unfortunately

I never found any way to set up a keybind - I had to deactivate and logout.

Edit: I checked again and there's no hotkey anywhere. If you have a way to do this, I'm all ears.

Should be under keyboard -> shortcuts -> window management(or something similar) -> krohnkite float

That's to float one particular app window, it doesn't disable Krohnkite altogether. The magic of the PopOS tiling is that the toggle fully enables/disables it, effectively switching between a stacked and a tiling WM with the click of a button.

Krohnkite has a float mode (basically just disable) aswell as a float specific window. Unfortunately I cant access my desktop until much later but when I do I'll grab the specific instructions

It's pretty much the best and only option for KDE but even then it's very janky. COSMIC is going to be the best option for this but again, you're then sacrificing the customization you'd get with Plasma.

And that sums up Linux DEs/WMs. If there's something you want you'll have to sacrifice something else. because there are NO DEs/WMs out there that will have everything you want in one package unless you build it yourself.

...unless you're MaoMaoWM and you're the dev who just said "fuck it, I'm including everything"
