Looks sick! I'll try it out when I get home.

Hey, I've been using it for about a week on Bazzite and I'm really enjoying it. Great work.
Thanks mate, If you miss any feature or have any problem, let me know
I am actually very interested in a scrolling window tiling, like:
- PaperWM (Gnome Extension) (2nd best example)
- Karousel (Kwin Script)
- Niri (wayland compositor wm) (best example)
Would it be viable to spin up something similar ?
Hi mate, your proposal is very interesting and it's pretty cool but it would involve writing my own tiling engine, the idea of Fluid tile is that it continues to work with native KWin tile manager
Right now I'm working on:
- Wiki to resolve doubts
- Create your own pre custom layout when a virtual desktop is created
- Do not leave blank spaces when arranging windows, this will be done by extending existing windows
- New UI when you move windows with the mouse, to put them on the tiles, similar to KZones
When I have more time I will add more things
Yeah, I figured it would be a colossal effort, but asked anyways in case I was wrong in my assumption.
Why don't you use those alternatives instead of Fluid tile if you want scroll mode?
Would this work on Fedora's atomic spins and forks running KDE Plasma?
I run Bazzite, which is downstream of silverblue.
Also, out of curiosity... Would this work on KDE OS?
Hi, this script will only work if the window manager is KWin. Fedora A's atomic spins uses Sway and the forks should work if you use Kwin by default
KDE Linux uses KWin by default
Bazzite uses Kwin, so it should work, right? Even if it's atomic / semi-immutable.
Yeah of course, try installing the script from the KDE settings using the Get New button. Instructions
Yesterday I tried it on Aurora, I couldn't download a single kwin script, that's on them. Today I tried Fluid Tile on Bazzite, works like a charm. Great work!
Thanks mate, one question. Aurora won't let you install any kwin scripts? How are you trying to install the scripts? Manual or with Get New button?
"These options did not add any real value" made me smile. That's the Windows 11 tagline!
Woah, I gotta try this, dynamic tiling (and the related shortcuts/interactions) was the only thing that pushed me away from kde to hyprland. Great stuff, thank you!
