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.

Cosmic-comp is my second favorite after hyprland so far due to their tiling being quite well thought-out. The problem is, it's part of a DE and is somewhat cumbersome to configure as a standalone compositor (can be fixed by patching libcosmic, tho), and also it's quite bare-bones when it comes to features.
Then there's pinnacle which looks promising, but I haven't yet tried to daily-drive it.
Also, maybe qtile, which has a Wayland back-end.
Qtile was my first daily driver tiling WM. It was a pain in the ass to install, but it's damn near as extensible as DWM (since the config file is literally a python program). The only thing I hate about it is that you can't reposition windows in the tiling layout by drag-and-drop.
Ill try out your suggestions. Ive thought about using cosmic but its alpha and it will have a bunch of stuff i wont use probably.
