I think new users to linux should skip x11 entirely as it is out of fashion and only adds friction. sway instead of i3 if you insist on tiling wm (i do, but it is a fringe option and another pain point for newbies)

Unfortunately, sway is a rather poor tiling wm, no offense to i3 fans. IMO the point of a tiling wm is to make it easier to manage windows, so something that requires manual splitting and rearranging is unacceptable (I may as well manually drag around windows!). Proper automatic tiling wms like dwm and awesome are missing in Wayland. Or, "were" missing, there are now some promising ones like Hyprland but they still have rough edges.
