I’ve been using ArcoLinux i3 flavor for a while, but they recently discontinued their flavors and instead just let 3 basic flavors, but as far as I know none of them comes with i3 already preconfigured. And yes, I know I can simply do it by myself with Arch Linux, but I don’t have enough time to do it.
I have already tried Garuda Linux i3 flavor, but there’s something in it that feels too mature to be user-friendly.
I’ve been using CachyOS which lets you pick from several tiling window managers during install and enjoying hyprland.
I think Archcraft is really nice and pretty beginner-friendly
I honestly bounced off of every window manager I haven’t configured myself, so kudos if you’re managing.
Fedora’s spin of sway should more or less take drop in i3 configs if you can back them up and figure out the few things that don’t directly translate. It was pretty solid last I looked.
With window managers you’ll probably get more mileage tooling with the configs than switching distros. Aside from cosmic the lineage is largely as a command line app that shows you windows, rather than GUI first.
Your title confused me cause TWM is X11’s standard window manager.
EndeavourOS has an i3 version. That’s how I started i3, and I’m still running it after almost 2 years. Comes pretty well set up in my opinion.
