Tiling window manager/DE
About the tiling there are extensions that alleviate some of the issues that GNOME's default tiling has. WinTile is one that adds 4 corner tiling just like Windows 10, (although I had some problems with snapping in/out the top panel and ended up not using it. Perhaps one day native 4 corner tiling will be implemented). ShellTile, gTile, PaperWM and the Pop shell are some extensions that give GNOME some advanced tiling capabilities. I personally don't use them as I'm happy with the default stacking GNOME workflow and prefer to use a standalone Tiling WM like sway if I need to, but I see the value in having a Tiling WM in GNOME and these are some of the extensions I've heard the most positive things.

Any plans on porting to wayland?
i'm reading this issue and this thread as i'm looking into migrate to wayland, since sooner or later we'll apparently have (i know this won't be very soon, but wayland is more and more mainstream). I know "any update on this?" is very annoying, and that's why i'm not open an issue, but... Any update on this?

selecting menu options without releasing right click
I guess, it's not supported at the moment or you'll have to do some hacks.. There is this issue (#3777) with the same problem.

A linux newbie has installed and configured Arch. Minimalist graphical capabilities?
I use the Awesome Window Manager. At it's core, it's a little difficult to figure out. But once you get the hang of assigning hot keys and whatnot, You'll be able to use it more fluently. I use it on all 3 of my machines (two desktops and one laptop). I Love it! I copy my configs from the machine I started it with and put them on the other 2 machines. Works great!
