There's TWMs which to me is what makes the linux experience, but those aren't for beginners and I wouldn't recommend you start with that

Gnome has an extension called PaperWM, and it's a fantastic middle ground between common stacking WMs and tiling WMs. It's probably most similar to River WM. I use it, and it's been a game changer.

FYI, if you want to help get people on the tiling bandwagon!

    I started with pop!_os and their pop_shell on GNOME which also has tiling, and that's been fun :3..

    At the moment pop is on the bench for me in terms of distro recommendations tho, cause of their work on COSMIC making it a bit behind, and possibly a bit unstable in the future

    (Though COSMIC will be replacing TWMs for me, as it's imo a nice fresh spin on tiling with the window groups, which to me makes it the smoothest tiling experience even in the current alpha)
