Do you game? If so, how is it with tiling?
yeah, play minecraft and factorio mostly, it's great. Opening a game in bordered with another window is a little goofy sometimes, but you can set that workspace to be stacking/tabbed instead of splitting, and that solves that problem, you can also just make it open in fullscreen if you want though. One of the really nice things is since it's a WM dealing with any sort of fullscreen operations are going to be pretty substantially simplified.
I have had a few weird input issues but that might be my config, i haven't gone through it incredibly tediously. I can highly recommend at least trying a WM if you haven't before, i3wm is quite nice as it's extremely minimal but mostly configured out of the box, you'll need ot do some minor config but other than that it's usable once installed.
the factory must grow
I tried Manjaro with sway, but had a few deal breaker issue, such as sound not working at all.
I just installed i3 on my personal pc and it works straight out of the box, which is a better experience already than Sway.
So I will see how I like it. I bought a 48" monitor specifically to act as a bezel-less dual/quad monitor, so a WM felt like it was a no brainer.
if you like i3 you should check out qtile. it's written in python and has good documentation.
