I love WMs but sometimes I wish there was also a fully featured WM (like a DE) for lazy people.

Because sometimes I can’t be bothered customizing the configs and I would just rather have a slightly more bloated setup but with faster customization and some features out of the box without to much researching.

But in my perspective, in terms of work flow WMs are just the way to compute efficiently.

Do you have any suggestions of projects that might be out there that do fill this niche?

    I think most tiling WMs are more for the keyboard based workflows that are less discoverable for the casual user using someone else’s config.

      True, but it would be pretty nice to have a sort of KDE or gnome type project but WM style

        As others have said, that’s basically pop shell. Cosmic will be out of alpha at some point this year, but you don’t need to wait for that to get started. I’ve been using pop os on my personal machine, and Ubuntu gnome with the pop-shell gnome extension for many years and it works great. Pretty much zero config and it is super easy to set up and get started.

        I think gnome team said they were experimenting with tiling features. I’m looking forward to checking what they came up with.
