how to choose window tiling manager?

I tried i3 and now just wondering, which WM I can pick and why, because of their great diversity. Any advices?

Try Niri (a linear window manager), I have tried it already for a short time on a seperate computer. It is very good! I just not got around configuring it for my main machine, yet.

And I need to test how well Xwayland works, because I need it for Steam and some games.

I've been enjoying niri a lot as well, it's one of few scrollable tiling managers. Check out their gif to get a sense of what that's like.

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.
