No idea what distro you're currently using but generally you can install whatever window manager/desktop (gui) you want

For a tiling wm I'd recommend hyprland. It's not the most stable but I've had minimal issues with it and it's really easy to get started with. You can install it alongside gnome/kde I believe and switch between the two on login so if you break one you've still got the other

dnf install apt

Very understandable that song is awesome

I basically listened to it on loop for a week and ruined the effect
