Niri would be a simplified desktop to me

I really wanted to switch to this but unfortunately it doesn't have support for Xwayland scaling :( in case youre using 4k, On Wayland only KDE and Gnome seem to have gotten this working.
There is also PaperWM https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM it works pretty well. I would be using it if i didnt switch to Cosmic.
If you're on KDE check out Karousel. It's a KDE Kwin script that does this type of scrollable tiling right inside KDE. Works great on my ultrawide monitor.

Niri is my daily driver. I absolutely love it. Couldn’t switch back to any other approach to window management.
Wow... love it, thanks for posting.
Cheers, that looks nice.
