I think what this guy need are more distributions with a pre configured setup of a tiling window manager, like a desktop environment. Some distributions have such i3 spin in example. I wouldn’t mind if we had more of those. It would definitely make it easier for people to try or get into one. Such as the theme and their applications, shortcuts and widgets setup in a consistent way to all their other desktop environments.
Before I switched to EndeavourOS, I was a Qtile user. Back when EndeavourOS still had a community maintained Qtile spin, I thought to myself, why not? So I tried it. What can I say? It was Qtile, but with all the stuff that makes up an EndeavourOS. It was ready to use. I still reconfigured a few stuff, but it was a nice and pleasant experience right from the start. It was an eye opening experience, in which I believe such a tiling window manager spin makes sense.
Switching a whole distro is an extreme way to try out a tiling window manager. It would be far better if desktop environments supported it so it is a simple toggle a user can turn on or off and not having to upend everything to get into.
Or: Tiling Window Manager distributions instead
