Guide on how to use i3-gaps with KDE

1. Create a new systemd user unit to start i3

~/.config/systemd/user/plasma-custom-wm.service

[Install]
WantedBy=plasma-workspace.target

[Unit]
Description=Plasma Custom Window Manager
Before=plasma-workspace.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/i3
Slice=session.slice
Restart=on-failure
MemoryAccounting=false

2. Mask the old unit, so that it doesn't start:
   systemctl --user mask plasma-kwin_x11.service
3. Do a daemon-reload:
   systemctl --user daemon-reload
4. Enable the new unit:
   systemctl --user enable plasma-custom-wm.service

If you want to go back to KWin, unmask plasma-kwin_x11.service and disable plasma-custom-wm.service.

Old method, deprecated since KDE 5.25!

1. Install i3-gaps, feh and picom with your package manager.
2. Clone this repo to a folder of your choice.
3. Copy wm.sh to ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/wm.sh This replaces Kwin with i3-gaps.
4. Copy .config/i3/config to ~/.config/i3/.
5. Edit the i3 config for your wallpaper, colors, autostart etc.
6. Logout/reboot, choose Plasma as your desktop environment at login.
