AwesomeWM and KDE as a fallback when I mess my configuration.
My recommendation is to just try bunch of them and see which one fits your needs or you like using the most.
Try both manual tiling and auto tiling for both X11 and Wayland, one will eventually stick.
I started with AwesomeWM, then tried bunch of other ones , and to my surprise, I found myself using DWM (flexipatch) the most. I’m planning to transition to Hyprland soon.
Just use what you like and don’t pay much attention about the reviews.
