Gnome vs KDE
Or i3 with gnome for those who don't want to code up their own monitor hotplugging, ssh/gpg agents, media hotkeys, usb drive hotplugging, screenshots, theming, ...
-
Can you recommend me a GUI settings app that would work nicely with i3?
Similarly, I just use i3-gnome-flashback and get a full set of gnome desktop environment goodies without having to do anything much.

My bluetooth headphones' play/pause button not working
Yet another of the long list of small reasons I run i3 within gnome-flashback.

Using Exwm Do you recommend it?
For me with whatever tiling WM, I am not interested in creating my own Desktop Environment, so I run it within gnome-flashback to get all the desktop niceties like hot-plugging monitors, hotkeys for media, screenshots etc., ssh/gpg agent, compose key, and many more. I am not interested in rolling my own solutions for each of these in turn, only realize what I haven't set up yet right when I need it. See exwm-gnome-flashback, or i3-gnome-flashback.

Considering Gnome's default flow using workspaces, should Gnome or Ubuntu offer an official tiling WM option within Gnome? (screenshots of i3wm vs. Ubuntu 20.04 w/ pop shell)
gnome-flashback is the gnome ecosystem Desktop Environment that can have any window manager swapped in. I think that is what Regolith uses since they maintain i3-gnome-flashback, that I use.

EXWM vs. other tiling WM
In both cases I used gnome-flashback to get a curated Desktop Environment without having to roll my own - e.g. i3-gnome-flashback and exwm-gnome-flashback.
-
Automatically detect external displays and apply config to them
In my case, i3-gnome-flashback. As a result I have the typical desktop setup where the Gnome settings panel can control the monitor layout, and it remembers previously seen monitors and restores the layout.

Need for advice: tiling window software
To avoid having to build your own desktop environment, you can use it within an existing DE that allows alternate window managers. I use i3-gnome-flashback.
-
I have just installed i3 and I'm loving the feel of it, however it looks kinda ugly and it's very hard to find info's for beginners (imo)
i3-gnome-flashback provides a way to use many GNOME tools with i3 (such as the control center): https://github.com/deuill/i3-gnome-flashback

Just enough OS for EXWM
Not much is needed, but quite a lot is nice to have. You can go through and add each feature you find you want, sometimes months later when you realize it's something you occasionally need, or you can just take an already-created desktop environment and swap in your window manager. E.g. I used gnome-flashback with Ubuntu 20.04.
