People comparing LLM ai models to industrialization with machines, do not understand the issue. The issue with LLM is not automation and taking place where people worked before, but it scrapes and steals data and code without respecting its license. It is unethical by principle. Unless the dataset is ethical obtain and respecting licenses. Also building cars in example is something no one can do for themselves (at least not allowed to use in streets), compared to programming who can be done by anyone and shared.

So I do not see the LLM “revolution” is the same as industrialization. These are two different issues that cannot be compared.

I turned to Google Gemini to generate a simple python script to do the work for me

This reply is in case you want to tile in KDE. I see you already found a solution with Yakuake / Guake tool and you don’t need to change to a tiling system just for that.

Well if you would use tiling window manager in KDE with the extension Krohnkite, it has a feature for doing exactly that. You can set a window to be a Dock (I manually chose the shortcut Meta+D for that) and it will attach to any side you want and not interfere with the other tiled windows anymore. And you don’t have to tile every window. In example on my Desktop 4, I set it to floating everything (which is no tiling at all) for games. You basically could set this floating mode be the default and whenever you want, you can start tiling specific Desktops or windows only.

I thought this would be about the Ai generated games, that has no code and runs like a video. Can we speak about software, if there is no code?

Wrong. In example Valve is putting money and work into FOSS. AND they make money of it and rely on it. Even Microsoft does contribute to Open Source, believe it or not, even is one of the top sponsors for Linux.

How is the free part not working? FOSS is the cure of the industry. Or do you think Adobe and Microsoft is working that great? Imagine if we didn’t have FOSS…

No. I just use the default on my system. Hopefully sudo-rs will become the default.

Why is Vim a security hole?

No, the Krohkite addon doesn’t have a configuration window to change shortcuts in the Kwin scripts section. And there is no need for anyway, as all shortcuts are in a central place of KDE shortcuts.

BTW back in KDE 5 I did that, used an alternative tiling window manager (I think it was i3wm) instead KWin. It worked, but it had its own set of problems. Not sure if it is still possible, but based on my prior experience I wouldn’t recommend it anyway. Instead the tiling script / addon Krohkite should be used, as people recommend. I use it myself (and I am a tiling window manager guy) and it works well, as it is well integrated and smooth experience in KDE.

That’s manual tiling with the mouse. It’s not the same as auto tiling like PopOS does.

Also available through KDE Settings > Window Management > KWin Scripts > [Get New…] . Installing it through this method should automatically update whenever its updated.

You change the shortcuts in the Plasma shortcuts window. Just type in the KDE shortcuts search bar “krohkite” to show matching entries only.

There was a period when KDE 6 was new and the Wayland stuff on top of it, where Kröhnkite didn’t work well. I use it since then as my daily driver and don’t have issues. Off course there might be edge cases and I do not resize windows manually much, in tiling mode. But I use floating mode too and resize windows to my liking and don’t have an issue like that.

BTW there is an fantastic “Dock” mode in Kröhkite, where you can define a window to be a dock that is always visible on the left/right or up/bottom area of all desktops; behaves similar to a normal dock from KDE Plasma. It’s a function I never saw in any other desktop environments or tilers.

Another Kröhnkite user here. I used tiling window managers before (mainly Qtile) and cannot use a desktop without auto tiling anymore.

Kröhnkite: is THE tiling addon for KDE in my experience. There was a period when it was broken and I experimented with other solutions (Polonium worked for a while, but now that thing stopped working lol and Kröhnkite works well again). You just need to setup your keybindings and configure the limited configuration itself. You can also remove the title bars and have colored outline for active window, if that is your thing. But that is not very configurable and is a weak point in my opinion.

Karousel: a scrollable tiling window manager. If that is your thing. It worked fine, I’m just not a fan of this type.

Mouse Tiler: and then there is a new and promising addon script in the works. The main selling point was and is that tiling is done manually and with mouse only. But after lot of request the dev is working on an automatic tiling system, which puts it into my radar. And I hope it will have configurable keyboard shortcuts too. Dev says the auto tiling works already and in the next days it will be updated. Didn’t try it out yet, but looks promising to me.

The Windows UX is horrible. What desktop environment do you use on Linux, that you think that Windows is better? :D

I searched the web and found this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends

On a high level, the problems aren’t about the programming language itself; it’s mostly all the surrounding stuff like upgrade issues and the tooling. And in these points, Rust excels in my opinion.

Thanks, but… Is this output from an Ai model?
