I tried POP_OS Shell too, but the animations were just way too janky for me, and I didn't like that. I tried out Forge and some others but they were all pretty much the same. PaperWM on the other hand takes a completely different approach and stacks them in an infinite horizontal scrollable list. After using this implementation for a couple of weeks, I just can't go back to anything else at all!
Have you tried SwayWM? If so, what differentiates Paper from Sway?
I'm asking mainly as a Sway user curious about other options (not because I dislike it, it works pretty well for me and I like the automation aspect).
I did try sway but the first thing I got was a config error... on a completely fresh install!
Anyways, PaperWM is just a Gnome extension, giving tiling within Gnome instead of being a dedicated WM like Sway or i3.
