Haha thanks, I think I'll finally give those a try, I've been trying to make KDE work, and it just doesn't.
for_window [all] floating enable
I use the multiple desktops feature a lot, though. Some programs are pinned to a dedicated desktop and run all day. Others I start in (or move to, later) a numbered desktop, and switch to them by changing the desktop. Often, most of the desktops contain only one window.
I once used i3 and sway the right way, of course. I guess I had one too many of those programs that were not designed to work at arbitrary window sizes, added the above rule and called it a day.
For my laptop, I’ve used i3, polybar (to get pretty bar at the top), rofi (a fine launcher), autorandr (detect and switch to my monitor and turn off laptop screen when I plug in), and… a random Arch Linux forum post to get automatic accelerometer based screen rotation going.

I bet there’s a fancy tool out there but this script seems to work after a little customization, and it is only a couple lines, so it can be understood!
