Another post on Linux battery performance
I am using my own WM MoonWM, which is based on dwm. It is probably not for everyone, but I think that goes for every WM (also it is probably not as stable as the "big" players). A common first WM is probably i3, but you really just have to try some until you find one that fits.

DWM "stutters" on media playback on any chromium based browser/app
The main difference compared to other window managers is that in dwm when you switch tags the windows that are not shown are simply moved to a negative x position, whereas in most other window managers the windows become iconified which involves a few more steps like mapping and unmapping the window. I don't think this should make a difference, but there is a build of dwm that iconifies windows when they are hidden rather than moving them to a negative position if you'd like to try that out.

A DE-Like Tiling Window Manager
You can install instantWM on another distro. I myself wrote MoonWM, which is based on dwm and should support basic DE functionality as well as draging windows with you mouse. If you want to you can give it a try. Although I should also not that it is not as smooth of an experience, as many regular DEs and I don't plan an pushing any updates other than obvious bugfixes in the near future.

How does DWM manage menus?
Have a look into dmenu, rofi and xmenu. They are all good at different things. The first two are keyboard driven and support a basic application menu by default. Xmenu is more like a context menu. For the most part you create the menus yourself with scripts. You can pipe stuff into their stdin and get the selected entry via stdout. Here is an example of what I use for my dwm build.
