WM recommendation (I know Python but not enough to take much priority)
WM recommendation (I know Python but not enough to take much priority)
I want the easiest to configure/theme wm and one that comes with sane defaults. Also I currently use cinnamon, and I'm not sure how to escape from that(everything in it is just so nice) but I want the speed of a wm

You can install Xfce and change the window manager. You will need to install a compositor, picom for example, but you will have the xfce panel and a working DE. This works flowlessly with i3 and bspwm for sure. It's a nice setup.I don't really need a task list on my panel, only for if I have an... Interesting alt tab implementation
But how do I do this? What stuff from xfce would I keep?
@ExplodeyWolf
I found this guide on endeavouros forum. Of course you need just the part where you kill xfwm and xfdesktop. It is for i3 but the principle similar for any window manager. And you need a conpositor, usually picom, because xfwm, that you are replacing, has its own compositor.
