Desktop is a broad term. I want a thread with specific focus on tiling window managers.

Can I try a tiling manager out without removing gnome?
I had a try of a tiling manager in a virtual machine but hard to get a proper feel for it. Don't want to remove gnome if I find I don't like it in the end.

Absolutely. Just install it and you should be able to choose what to use during login.

I like bspwm, using it with sxhkd and lemonbar.

Also, note that by default they are kind of lacking EVERYTHING. You have to tinker them to make them usable. I use dmenu a lot, for example, to launch apps, execute scripts and stuff like that. I recommend installing dmenu and binging it to some key combination (super + d, for example). It will be easier to write initial config under gnome.

I'm currently using BSPWM and I'm absolutely in love with it!
