I want the easiest to configure/theme wm and one that comes with sane defaults. Also I currently use cinnamon, and I’m not sure how to escape from that(everything in it is just so nice) but I want the speed of a wm

If you’re looking for a floating wm then Fluxbox might be your best bet. Otherwise I’d try i3. It’s easy to configure and has a lot of documentation (it also features a floating mode I believe). If you’re looking for something in python then I would recommend either awesomewm or Qtile (my fav). Qtile is a bit more difficult than awesome to configure though, but it has a better status bar.
My problem with qtile is it seems… just bad… The install instruction doesn’t work, and it was just a pain to install
Welcome to 90% of WM’s friend.
I’ll certainly try fluxbox. What is i3 and fluxbox configured in?
i3 is configured in it’s own configuration language thing which I personally find very easy to use and understand. Fluxbox on the other hand is, I believe, configured through a GUI though I’ve never used it so don’t take my word on that. Btw awesomewm is written in Lua not Python. Didn’t realize my mistake until just now.
