I’m currently using Fedora KDE Plasma, but I’d like to try out a tiling window manager. What would you all reccomend? I use my computer for school, so I would like it to be stable.

can I get that on plasma?
Dude I recommend you to watch a few Youtube videos about what is a desktop, a window manager and a distro ;)
No, you cant get i3 on Plasma.
Well, you kind of can actually. It just replaces KWin
Only on X11 though.
You can? And then it still launches the Plasma session?
That may be an XOrg thing, which Fedora dropped. But the apps could still run on Xorg.
Possibly? Though I wouldn’t recommend it. I tried that with xfce once, and it technically worked, but tiling window manager and desktop environments tend to have different aims. A desktop environment like plasma will have everything bundled together and playing well as a whole, while a window manager like i3 will be barebones and expect you to pick out the pieces yourself. DE’s are much more beginner friendly, while WM’s are great if you want to get as much customization as possible. Which will better suit you depends on your needs.
Cool, thanks for the explanation.
