## What it is
Karousel is a scrollable tiling window manager implemented as a KWin script for KDE Plasma. It tiles windows without maximizing their widths, letting users control window size and scroll horizontally through windows, especially useful on ultrawide screens.

## Use cases
- scrollable tiling window management on KDE Plasma
- manage windows on an ultrawide monitor like PaperWM or Niri
- tile windows without forcing full-width layouts
- horizontally scroll through open windows on Linux
- add tiling behavior to KWin without switching window managers

## When to choose
- you use KDE Plasma and want scrollable tiling without replacing KWin
- you have an ultrawide monitor and want PaperWM-like workflows
- you want keyboard-driven window tiling with configurable shortcuts

## When to avoid
- you need multi-monitor support
- you use windows across multiple activities or all-desktops windows
- you don't run KDE Plasma / KWin
