Gnome 3 doesn't let you configure an alternative wm. KDE does but it's broken by default with minimal wm. For example it wants to start a full screen window that would normally be the desktop interface over everything.

It's questionable how much value is added by running a plasma session over simply running KDE apps and services.

Eventually, you won't really have a choice about whether to run a desktop session once Wayland is here. I don't expect my favorite window mamager to be updated with Wayland support.

Which window manager is that? For i3, the Wayland equivalent (or at least 99% equivalent) is Sway (which I'm using right now over here). For Awesome, there's way-cooler.
