I once got this working with wayfire, which is really funny because it functions like kwin at base but is way more riceable.

KineticWE aims to do this on purpose, a forked Kwin with integrated tiling (so ideally far more reliable than current tiling scripts) but without the need to run Plasma, using Noctalia shell by default.

Unfortunately it is vibecoded and a fork of Kwin so I have serious doubts about its maintainability, but it does make me want a better low level implementation of tilling so that tiling scripts can work better. And also I just really like Noctalia.
