People joke about the year of linux on the desktop, but it remains the best place to create an environment you like. XFCE is a good starting point if you're an old school windows fan.

What's a good X11 or Wayland environment if I want a lightweight low-latency environment with Super+Number app launching and Super+arrow or drag snapping/tiling? Xfce with Docklike is X11-based, and gets me everything except for window snapping/tiling (when I try configuring the keyboard shortcuts, it doesn't work).

Openbox is super configurable, and I've definitely done similar things to what you just descrubed.

Last time I tried swapping out xfwm with openbox it was pretty easy.
