Plasma with sway has kwin even though plasma with i3 worked.

People convinced me to switch to wayland. I followed this tutorial to integrate plasma with i3: https://github.com/heckelson/i3-and-kde-plasma. Now, when i switched to wayland, i installed sway, copied the config file since it has the samew configs, and put this in /usr/share/wayland-sessions/plasma-sway.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=env KDEWM=/usr/bin/sway /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland
DesktopNames=KDE
Name=Plasma with sway
Comment=Plasma with sway

However, I dont have plasma with sway but with kwin. Is switching to X11 the only option? Is there a desktop environment featuring a tiling wm out of the box? Yes yes, you have tiling in kde, but you have to manually drag the windows into the tiles. I simply want tiling but with stuff like panel (which has power manager kde connect and clipboard manager and fullscreen app menu).
