I wish someone would make a tiling desktop environment instead of only a window manager to make them easy to use for all without tweaking because they are the future of the DEs.

    If you use a distro based on Ubuntu or Debian (like PopOS and others) I recommend Regolith Desktop. You can install it on an existing setup and it’s ready to go out of the box. You can choose it from the login screen like any other desktop environment like GNOME or KDE. The next version will also bring Sway/Wayland support since obviously X is on its way out in the long term.

    Theres a gnome extension for tiling. You can also use i3 with xfce (I like wayland so I stopped using that)

    There is an extention of Gnome called pop-shell that does exactly what you want

    You can use your favorite windowmanager with your favorite Desktop. That said, KDE has tiling capabilities.

    KDE has pretty good tiling functionality these days, not much need in using another WM unless you have a very specific workflow in mind

      I once saw a video which showed off the built-in Plasma tiling feature and complained that it could not have been developed by a tiling WM user, since it was very inflexible and mouse focused. He could not use it with a keyboard, which kind of defeats the purpose of tiling in the first place.

    I’m using Pop_Os! Since 1.5 years and I basically fell in love with it. I was super annoyed with Gnome not having it and KDE being overkill for my personal use. I’m now using Pop_OS! At home and at work and patently waiting for the coming changes that they’re doing using Rust :)
