As I’m about to start renewing and expanding the computer fleet in my house I decided I want to have a machine solely for my personal use, where I can use some solutions no one else will feel comfortable with in the house.
I’ve been wanting to try window managers for a while but after researching on it for a bit I’m none the wiser on which to choose.
There are a few distros out there that already deliver this kind of experience but I want to use the opportunity to learn and start from a stock Debian and build from there to where I want to get to.
I’m fully capable of setting up my computers as is but I’m aware WMs require a bit more involvement, so having at least good documentation is a must.
I’m also not averse to learn some coding, even more when considering I want to have a fully costumized conky, but I’ve never coded before.
The machine will be used essentially for writing, web surfing and email and, if possible, running Stardew Valley.
Any advice will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Ideally, I’d board a window manager capable of moving into a compositor, under Wayland, since it seems Xorg is reaching the point where it may be left behind.
Whatever knowledge I gain from whatever solution I pick won’t be a waste but I’d like not to have to jump from one solution to another.
That is why I’m not considering Openbox, as per what I’ve read its development has ceased, making it a finished product for Xorg. Fluxbox seems to be on the same scheme, per what I’ve read.
