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.
Looking forward to Cosmic DE from Pop!OS, they’re integrating tiling functionality in it.

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.
Not perfect, but flakey in places, but it does a lot of what you want, it’s tiled gnome.
It is also a bit ancient, isn’t it?
Theres a gnome extension for tiling. You can also use i3 with xfce (I like wayland so I stopped using that)
You can do this yourself very easily. I use xfce with bspwm for example, you just have to remove xfwm from the startup applications and replace it with your wm of choice.
That only works on Xorg though, doesn’t it? /g
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.
There is an extention of Gnome called pop-shell that does exactly what you want
You van use tour favorite windowmanager with tour favorite Desktop. That said, KDE has tiling capabilities.
You may want to adjust your keyboard
Sure I do. Auto correct gets me all the time.
