I’m currently using Fedora KDE Plasma, but I’d like to try out a tiling window manager. What would you all reccomend? I use my computer for school, so I would like it to be stable.

      Again, how is it different than installing directly on your machine? Especially when you have a package manager that can rollback the installation?

        Not OP, but can only speak from my experience: Installing a second WM/DE usually messes up my install, as quite some stuff is just from one GUI framework, so I don’t have to have to much stuff installed.
        Also getting rid of it afterwards always wasn’t as easily possible.

        I completely get trying out a WM y firing up a VM. You could even just boot the live USB stick to check it out.
        But changing my working install just to try something (and then have to clean it up again) wasn’t working out for me in the past

        Well, as I said, it gives you the whole thing from scratch, in addition it doesn’t fuck with your menus. Finally, and most importantly, maybe people don’t like experimenting on their main machine.
