I’ve been using Gnome almost exclusively for the past two years, although I also spent significant amounts of time in a tiling WM (Sway).

I like the overall experience of gnome. The apps feel nice, the DE feels snappy etc. But the tiling features of KDE make me curious. I like sway, but I recently completely messed up my configuration and it’s a an absolute pain to get back working even halfway decent, so I may as well give a integrated DE a try




Also consider pop-shell which is a fork of GNOME with tiling built-in. However, I'm not sure about its future since PopOS is switching to COSMIC DE in the next release.


I actually did try the Pop Shell extension with my Fedora installation, but found it to be more cumbersome than helpful.

Admittedly, this may very well be due to the fact that I didn't quite have the time to configure it to match my tiling WM mappings i've been used to at this point
