I've been using CachyOS which lets you pick from several tiling window managers during install and enjoying hyprland.
I honestly bounced off of every window manager I haven't configured myself, so kudos if you're managing.
Fedora's spin of sway should more or less take drop in i3 configs if you can back them up and figure out the few things that don't directly translate. It was pretty solid last I looked.
With window managers you'll probably get more mileage tooling with the configs than switching distros. Aside from cosmic the lineage is largely as a command line app that shows you windows, rather than GUI first.
EndeavourOS has an i3 version. That's how I started i3, and I'm still running it after almost 2 years. Comes pretty well set up in my opinion.
