Choosing a hybrid Wayland Compositor (slrpnk.net)

  1. I am very unlikely to switch away from KDE Plasma 6
  2. I would anyways like to try Sway or the like
  3. I dont use virtual desktops and find just navigating through a bottom taskbar makes more sense for me
  4. I have many apps fullscreen, and would never tile more than once vertically, as I am on a Laptop
  5. I want: NightLight, tray icons, a good app menu, many KDE Apps (Dolphin, Kate, Ark, Gwenview, Spectacle Edit feature at least)

Are Wayland WMs ready for this use case? What would you recommend to fill these exact requirements?

Is Krohnkite available for Plasma 6? My understanding is that Kwin Scripts need to be updated, or at least re-uploaded, as Plasma-6-compatible. Presumably that's not the case for Krohnkite, since it's been unmaintained for a while...?

Personally, I'm using Polonium.

I'm aware. Krohnkite got updated to support 6
