From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not any PiP window, only ones that use the protocol. Firefox should use it. Though I'd be surprised if there wasn't some Kwin extension to automatically make the PiP windows always on top like the extension you mentioned or the Gnome "PiP on top" extension
Plasma lets you pin any window to be always on top (short of fullscreen apps), and you can set up rules to automatically set that behavior for any pip window.
