From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think most tiling WMs are more for the keyboard based workflows that are less discoverable for the casual user using someone else's config.
True, but it would be pretty nice to have a sort of KDE or gnome type project but WM style
As others have said, that's basically pop shell. Cosmic will be out of alpha at some point this year, but you don't need to wait for that to get started. I've been using pop os on my personal machine, and Ubuntu gnome with the pop-shell gnome extension for many years and it works great. Pretty much zero config and it is super easy to set up and get started.
I think gnome team said they were experimenting with tiling features. I'm looking forward to checking what they came up with.
