Interesting. Not KaOS but this "Niri/Noctalia" might be. Ehh, so Niri is
a compositor which I think implies window manager in Wayland and
Noctalia is a desktop shell? Might take look on an Arch system.

I'm interested since I dunno if I'm ready to go to Wayland when KDE
drops X11 support but we'll see. I had a quick try of KDE on Wayland
recently, was "mostly fine" for a quick look. But then that was just
email/browswer/terminal/Emacs and the devil's in the details, as
always. My other GUI environment runs just Awesome WM which hasn't seen
a release since 2019 so eventually that'll come to some kind of an end.
