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.

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

    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
