Polonium is an autotiling window manager script (plugin) for KDE Plasma 6's KWin compositor, serving as a spiritual successor to Bismuth. It provides configurable tiling layouts, mouse and keyboard window management, and DBus-based persistence, working exclusively on Wayland.

Use cases

• auto-tile windows in KDE Plasma 6
• replace Bismuth tiling on Plasma 6 Wayland
• use dwindle or master-stack layouts in KWin
• resize tiles with mouse in KDE
• set per-screen and per-desktop tiling layouts
• persist tiling layouts across logout via DBus

When to choose

• you run KDE Plasma 6.4+ on Wayland and want automatic window tiling
• you want deep KWin integration including tile resizing and virtual keyboard support
• you want configurable layouts like BTree, Half, Three Column, Pillars, or Pager

When to avoid

• you use X11 - it is explicitly unsupported
• you want maximum stability over deep integration (Krohnkite may suit better)
• you need monocle layout, which is incompatible with KWin tiles
