Generally just want some recommendations which Tiling WM is best compatible and easy to configure with Linux mint. I tried DWM but to fully complete it, it requires some stuffn that don't come automatically with linux mint. So I was wondering if there're any other alternatives for DWM that're best compatible for Mint. 👍

Beginner friendly and tiling WM are not terms I've ever heard combined until now,
If you want a tiling WM then Linux Mint is probably not the distro to go with, something like fedora would be my recommendation for trying a tiling wm. The most beginner-friendly tiling wm I can think of is Cosmic, if you would count that as a tiling wm.
If you want a regular tiling wm, I would expect i3 or Sway (i3 uses x11 while Sway is basically the wayland equivalent) to be the easiest to figure out. (If they can even be installed on mint, I haven't checked shrugcat)

I'm sure someone else will have a better answer, and am not entirely sure what you mean by "stuff that doesn't come automatically with linux mint"

may God Bless you for your answere

with things that didnt come preinstalled with mint such as the .xinitrc file. the tutorial also proceeded with installing Picom (which I did). But i could not locate the picom.conf file eventho it shoulda been in the same folder where I installed it in. Other than that I js saw that mint was not a great pic since people online told me that mint aint really that good for those typa stuff. I still wanted to try tho 🤷‍♂️i

If you want to try a tiling wm on a different distro, then there are multiple "spins" of fedora that come with a wm preinstalled, either Sway or Miracle, which are very easy to download with the Fedora Media Writer
