I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS

Thinking of using NixOS for my work machine as well, however I don’t want to use hyprland or even Wayland as I need this machine to be stable and reliable (Nvidia GPU)

Is I3 still the best option for this or are there better alternatives? (leaning towards I3 ontop of KDE)

I’m also somewhat tempted to just go GNOME with the forge extension as it seems the most reliable, though the tiling on that extension is far from perfect

    I explicitly don’t want to use Wayland for my work machine because on both my laptop and PC (both Nvidia) and it’s not very stable/reliable

    The work PC has Nvidia too so x11 seems like the better choice for that for the “it just works” factor

      That’s fair, especially if you’re using it for work as well. Just wanted to point out the option!
