Add xmonad to gnome
For me launching Gnome with xmonad as the window manager stopped working a few years ago. Instead I have xmonad set to autostart 2 seconds into a desktop session with --replace set. dotfiles

How to set everything up on laptop to use xmonad
With regards to 1, I've got a system that works pretty well for me. You can look in my dotfiles and the script called setup-xmonad.sh. I've configured things to run xmonad --replace shortly after the desktop comes up and that works great.

KDE: A Nice Tiling Environment and a Surprisingly DE
> xmonad itself canโt run with modern Gnome
That's not really true. I use the gnome-flashback sesson and have an .desktop in ~/.config/autostart that runs xmonad --replace after I log in. It's true that logging in with a gnome session using xmonad as the WM isn't really an option any more but switching to xmonad after login continues to work great and is easier to set up than creating your own session ever was.

USB to phone connection not recognised when I am in Xmonad. But working when I go back to Desktop environment. DE == GNOME
I wasn't able to get those instructions to work on more recent versions of Ubuntu. In my dotfiles and setup repo I've got a solution that works for me using autostart and xmonad --replace.

The growth of command line options, 1979-Present
Yes, there's stuff that you can't get just from parsing the man page too, but it's a huge help. I know it's not done every startup, I have running that as part of my "update everything" script.

XMonad โ The Automated Tiling WM
I've been using XMonad for over 10 years now. Originally I went with Awesome but then decided I liked still having a normal desktop environment and XMonad's integration with Gnome was really easy.
The way I've done this has changed a bit over the years, these days I drop a file in .config/autostart letting xmonad replace the normal window manager after Gnome gets itself sorted out.

Which DE plays nicely with xmonad?
Hmm, I don't use a vertical panel so it might not be comparable. My dotfiles are here though if you want to take a look.

I would also highly recommend i3 + i3-gnome combination [1]. It adds a lot of gnome features out of box to i3, like sound control, notifications, etc.

Gnome, minimal-isation towards i3
Remove/change all the gnome hotkeys/shortcuts using dconf-editor so I can use Gnome environment like i3. I do enjoy the ease of plug and play-ablity of gnome against i3. But I just...don't like the environment. I have checked i3-gnome. It makes the HDMI output stop working.

Has anyone had success installing i3wm over gnome and keeping gnome settings?
Hmm, sounds a bit like you'd want i3-gnome, which states it has support for gnome 40, though my guess is that this will give you Gnome DE with i3 instead of Mutter being the only difference, so no polybar.
