    There are already ways to have tiling and a DE.

    On GNOME, there’s PaperWM, although it’s not quite traditional tiling either.

    On KDE Plasma 5.27+, you can use Polonium. For versions before 5.27, Bismuth.

    And on Xfce or LXQt, it’s often possible to use them with a traditional tiling WM, like i3wm, bspwm etc…

      Chiming in with another great alternative, Tactile lets you tile windows and stack at the same time. Between the Tactile hotkeys, Alt+Tab and Alt+~ I never need to use the mouse for window manipulation anymore.

      I really can’t stress how good PaperWM is in combination with a touchpad. I wouldn’t recommend it at all on a mouse-only environment, but when you can use multitouch gestures to scroll through the workspace it works really well.
