X11 tiling WMs

flashgnash@lemm.ee to Linux@lemmy.ml – 48 points –

I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS

Thinking of using NixOS for my work machine as well, however I don't want to use hyprland or even Wayland as I need this machine to be stable and reliable (Nvidia GPU)

Is I3 still the best option for this or are there better alternatives? (leaning towards I3 ontop of KDE)

I'm also somewhat tempted to just go GNOME with the forge extension as it seems the most reliable, though the tiling on that extension is far from perfect

Ehm, what would be a difference for you, if you install sway?

It's a good question - I don't know, because I haven't used it. If it's 100% compatible with i3 down to its configuration and features, then sure, it's palatable.
