I'm using an ASUS Vivobook (F571GT) for education, and I prioritize portability and quickly being able to just open my laptop somewhere and continue working. The laptop is currently running Linux Mint 21.1 with Cinnamon, however I have found myself preferring standalone window managers on my main PC. I am not new to WMs by any means, however I would prefer a tiling WM for sure.

I'm also open to distro-hopping, if a certain WM is better experienced on another distro (probably unlikely and this is probably never the case, but I'm just leaving this here in case)

What would you guys recommend I use? I know that some of you may say any one, or it's all about how I configure it but I'd like specific suggestions if possible. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

EDIT: As people start to recommend WMs I've already used, I'd just like to say that I've used Qtile, i3, Xmonad, Awesome (not a lot tho), DWM & Hyprland.
I don't mind if you recommend one of these, however it'd be nice to explain why it's good for my use case if so.

- I also have a GTX 1650, please keep NVIDIA in mind.
