    @cliffle @maya_b I haven't used KDE or anything else in a minute. I did try i3 once at work but I had approx 50 billion browser windows and tabs open and the tiles were infinitesimally small. It was a real problem navigating and was hampering my work too much. I didn't give it a fair chance.

    @fullywoolly i3 (and Sway, which is more or less an i3 workalike) can switch a desktop into tabbed or stacked view rather than tiled. That's what I do for my browsers. I only use tiling for terminals, in practice.

    @cliffle oh I didn't make it that far. That's really helpful to know!

    I'll have to give it another go

    @fullywoolly You may also find the container feature (a window containing multiple window, with its own layout setting) useful.
    When working at the desk with a large, wide monitor, I like using a two- or three-column (split-horizontally) top-level layout where every column contains multiple windows in a tabbed or split-vertically layout. When I take the laptop with me, the overall layout stays the same, I just convert those top-level horizontally-split top-level layouts to tabbed – the internal layout stays the same.

    @hillu @cliffle that sounds super handy. I mostly avoided docking at my last job to keep it from deciding how to rearrange for me.
