Best window manager for Arch with
Since this is your first foray into this world I’d suggest you look into nwg-shell. It’s a sway (and hyprland) based WM that brings some of the niceties of a desktop over to this WM world for you. It comes complete with a gui for setting all the configs, and 4 desktop options, plus the ability to change it to your hearts content. There’s a dock, an app drawer, wallpaper app, and tons of things to tinker with. It’s written in Go and Python and you can change pretty much anything however you want.
