Ok #Desktop peeps, here's you're opportunity to teach me a lesson or two X'-D
I usually rock i3wm for my own purposes (and even on my current work laptop, because it's a decade old), but for my new work machine, I'd rather give the appearance of being mainstream, if only not to wig other people out.
Both #Gnome and #KDE seem to have some decently functional tiling addons, and I'm decently comfortable with either one.
