KWin/X11 is an X11 window manager and a compositing manager. Its primary usage is in conjunction with a Desktop Shell (e.g. KDE Plasma Desktop). KWin/X11 is designed to go out of the way; users should not notice that they use a window manager at all. Nevertheless KWin/X11 provides a steep learning curve for advanced features, which are available, if they do not conflict with the primary mission. KWin does not have a dedicated targeted user group, but follows the targeted user group of the Desktop Shell using KWin/X11 as it's window manager. KWin is not... * a standalone window manager (c.f. openbox, i3) and does not provide any functionality belonging to a Desktop Shell. * a replacement for window managers designed for use with a specific Desktop Shell (e.g. GNOME Shell) * a minimalistic window manager
