I think this looks amazing. I do like the behaviour of tiling WMs, but having a DE is too comfy for me to give up. This could possibly bring the bestof both worlds.
Chiming in with another great alternative, Tactile lets you tile windows and stack at the same time. Between the Tactile hotkeys, Alt+Tab and Alt+~ I never need to use the mouse for window manipulation anymore.
You could try Pop!_OS. There you get the full DE, plus tiling implemented by a GNOME extension. You can also just install that extension, of course, or another.

There are already ways to have tiling and a DE.
On GNOME, there’s PaperWM, although it’s not quite traditional tiling either.
On KDE Plasma 5.27+, you can use Polonium. For versions before 5.27, Bismuth.
And on Xfce or LXQt, it’s often possible to use them with a traditional tiling WM, like i3wm, bspwm etc…
There’s also Forge for GNOME.
Try out Pop Shell. Its works very well on my Fedora installs.
Seconding Pop Shell. Very simple install via Gnome extension and it works wonderfully on my daily driver Ubuntu install.
