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

Uh What’s the difference?
If stacking is floating, I think I’d rather have that

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.
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.
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 hope
Install instructions? I just installed it with my package manager and it worked fine.
I used pip, and apparently I needed to download from the git?
Ah, so apparently it’s been removed from the Ubuntu repos. I would try apt-get qtile if you haven’t already and if that fails, I just wouldn’t try qtile. I’m not sure why they removed it from the repos though.
