DEVil666913160dRegolith Linux is a distro which derives from Ubuntu and has tiling built-in by default, another option is Pop!OS where you can enable it with a single toggle in notification center.
If macOS is more your jam there's the free app Amethist which gives better tiling capabilities to macOS GUI. -

You guys above cannot understand that that i can configure my i3wm, but i DONT WANT to do it. You will never reach the level of a ready GUI like gnome regarding utilitities.
I saw recently omakub, a DHH gnome configuration that looks like what i want. You want to be productive. Even Linus is not on that "install arch" train. I installed 3 times arch, and like Linus, i never saw any advantage to it. And unlike many i3 usearchbtw friends i know, DHH had made a tone of money.
Dont get me wrong, to ask about i3 means that i have tinkered a lot through dotfiles, vim-stros, arch, endeavouros etc. But being mouseless and blazingly fast is totally different than learning how the brightness and the monitor arrangment and the touchpad -clickOnTouch works under the hood.
There are times that i just want to write code fast and not build a new GUI. -

I love mouseless movement, i3, vim etc. But for some reason is so coupled with "start from black screen, learn the entire linux system just to increase the brightness or connect a bluetooth speaker" way of thinking.
Why those two has to go together ? Its like saying that a pianist should know also how to modify his piano and be a carpenter.
How can i find good mouseless tools without having to make my own distro and learning all the API's for adding a new language on the keyboard.
