I'll probably be using a tiling window manager for the foreseeable future, but let me know in the comments what you like using.

I find the terminal (mainly Termite), Stacer, Firewall, Timeshift, Character Map, Xscreensaver, etc... practical to send to the scratchpad as floating windows. Then I just switch to the ws's with my main apps for whatever I intend to do. Workflow is something that develops itself.

For stacking, I used to be a fan of wmii, but for tiling, I liked Awesome, but overall my favorites are JWM, and Enlightenment.

Fluxbox for years yet recently jumped to CWM and it rocks. Floating forever, tiling never 😉

I use pop cosmic or cinnamon on good configuration laptop and desktop, icewm (stacking), i3 (tiling) on old computers/laptops

Repeat after me. " Only 2 exist. Ice and Openbox" Have a nice evening. You're going t really like tiling when you shave yer noggin !
