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.

      That’s the big thing that keeps me from moving to Wayland and sway. I want a full DE and don’t want to reinvent that wheel but afaik I would have to.

      So it’s i3-gnome-flashback for me for now.

        That looks promising! Usually. I prefer Plasma, but the tiling options for that aren’t too great either.

        The System76 people are working on tilingein their DE, though.

          I’ve been through a few tiling WMs and came back to i3. For me it’s the right combo of automatic & manual and malleable. And of course it should be easy to move to Wayland with Sway (effectively i3 for Wayland), but I have held off until I know I can get it in a curated DE as I have no idea to create an environment, I want it to just work.
