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.

Fedora has an i3 flavor, you could try that - or just install whatever WM you want to check out on your current setup. You can usually select your WM on the login screen once it's installed.
My bad, phrases that badly. I meant to avoid i3
Sloppy reading on my part as well. Seems like you want something between the standard windows/macos experience and i3, and that sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure it exists
