Moved from KDE to hyperland, while keeping some of the ecosystem, like KDE PIM, Dolphins, Okular and the other standard apps.
Best decision for my daily work I made in a long time

A proper scrolling wm functionality for plasma (working with activities and multiple screens) and I'd never go back to anything else.
I gotta use Ubuntu 22.04 for work and paperWM is already so close to the perfect workflow on that old system. β€οΈ

Itβs all about the workflow efficiency for me, not RAM. And the tilers for KDE and Gnome have always been unreliable in my experience.
Did you try on KDE since Plasma 6 came out? It introduced a native, manual tiling mechanism, which just needs to be configured by a KWinscript to make it automatic, so it still feels native when you resize the tiles. I'm pretty happy with Krohnkite these days either way...
If you don't use Gnome or KDE or one of the other big DEs, do you basically have no (user facing GUI) programs installed by default? If so, don't you end up installing a bunch of programs from one of those anyway?
I think most window managers typically come with just a fee GUI apps preinstalled, but most users install more.

Keyboard shortcuts. And also, launchers.
They open as tiles not windows, look up hyprland
It basically favors keyboard only use over mouse
I got fed up doing the integration work for a window manager eventually and replicated my needs well enough with KDE.
Thats cool and all but hyprland and dank material shell are just too good for me to switch off of.
Not a fan of either so Iβll just watch
