I've recently installed Pop!_OS, mostly because I heard good things about its installer (setting up FDE on a secondary SSD is completely insane in Ubuntu).

But their tiling window manager extension is the real gem in my opinion. It's very clearly a v1.0, but I am still surprised by how much I enjoy it: https://github.com/pop-os/shell

Absolutely - I had been playing with i3 and other tiling window managers, but I always miss the full DE experience when using them. Pop-shell looks like it might fill the gap between Gnome and i3: tiling goodness with a full DE. I am looking forward to System76 developing the extension!
