I have never tried it. It was not even on my radar. I have the notion it
existed but not what it was about.

I like tiling window managers. They are very handy when you have two terminals
open on one side and a browser on the other. That said, I don't see myself
running such setup alongside a full desktop environment.

The most visual distribution I run anywhere is an MX Linux install which I use
for testing. Everywhere else I run OpenBSD or Slackware with some minimalistic
environment. I have been researching KISS Linux as of late which should hint
everybody I am not thrilled by big graphical desktops :-)
