Just an idea here, What if we can offer a "Tiling Window Manager Spin" (we can come up with a better name) and then let the user choose X11 or Wayland? Is that too much work?

Maybe we can get a discussion going on what needs to be done then to tackle something like this. I personally do no know the work involved but having a "tiling" spin that can support both X11 and Wayland would be amazing especially since the configs are compatible. Let me know how I can help.
