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 honestly can’t go wrong with using i3. It’s super simple to use and has great documentation.

      Isn’t i3 a tiling WM? If they use cinnamon that seems like a bit of a jump

      Tried out sway which I hear is based on i3 and at least on NixOS it came with bare minimum config that didn’t allow me to use my laptop properly at all

        Yes. Its tilling.Inn my opinion, if you wanna go the wm route, why not go the tiling route and get rid of using mouse alltogether (ツ)

          You can still use your mouse. I3 allows using the mouse for moving Windows if you want it. Personally I manage Windows using shortcuts, but for GUI and some TUI apps I use the mouse anyway
