Your windows, on a conveyor belt.

Konveyor turns Plasma into an endless, scrollable row of windows. Nothing overlaps, nothing gets buried, and the rest of your desktop stays exactly the way you like it.


Pretty nice project I just found out about. Love to see people creating tools like these (and Cosmic) to allow users to find a middle ground between classic floating desktop environments and standalone window managers.

That's it. The installer grabs what it needs, builds Konveyor for your exact KWin and switches it on

Don't know how to argue this but all of this "run this bloated non-posix non-standard installer script" projects that are coming out this days smell like ai slop to me. Ask them why they don't provide a standard ./configure script (or a CMake script like in this case) like any decent human being will do and you'll get some bs answers.

I don't have proof but also I don't have doubt.

    I don’t have proof but also I don’t have doubt.

    Given the latest news re: KDE gargling on AI, it's pretty much a given that this is going to be vibecoded.

    "gargling on AI" = "writes a contribution policy making it clear vibe-coded contributions are unacceptable"

    What, did they reverse course that I did not hear of? Latest news I can get is that not only are they going full AI, but are being "say the racist part out loud" about hiding its use pretending it's not a problem.

    That's not going "full AI" to me. Not at all. If that's "full AI", then what is "AI contributions you haven't read at all are fine"?

    I think you need to take a step back, because it sounds like you just want everyone to ban AI and anything less is "full AI" or "gargling AI" or whatever. I fully sympathise that you don't like it due to its many problems, but that's not a reason to lose perspective

    This looks... Interesting? Seems like a lot of complication for a desktop...

    Holy Torvalds, this looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. Have you tried it out? How does it perform?

    I just found it in an article an decided to share it. I have no plans on even testing it because I've tested scrolling window managers like Niri for about two months and did not like the scrolling. But I understand people may like it over other tiling layouts.

    I just thought it would be nice to share an alternative to karousel
