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
