Ill spent days of my youth you're talkin' about there. That being said, the tiling window managers were never something I could really get into. Don't get me wrong, I tried a bit, but in the end I decided that I personally didn't want to mess around with a bunch of configs to get them to do what I wanted them too, so I don't really know of too many distros that come with tiling WMs as they weren't really my cup 'o tea.
That being said, I've heard awesome things about Awesome WM (God I'm clever). And Enlightenment has some tiling like elements but can't really be considered a true tiling WM. It's been a couple of years since I've messed with a bunch of this stuff, so take anything I say with a grain of salt as the situation has probably changed considerably since I was really into it.
i3 is a very nice tiling window manager (and my tiling window manager of choice).
Be sure that you read the documentation and check out the various configuration files people have available so that you can tweak your copy just the way you want it.
They all can inherently can use tiling window managers. You just have to install the one that you wish to use.
The only distribution that I can recall at the moment which offers a tiling window manager right out of the box (a community edition which has i3) is Manjaro, but I don't really recommend them.
Just to reiterate that this happened in the past and it probably isn't like this anymore.
They used to withhold important security updates under the guise of stability.
Additionally, when their website's SSL cert expired they told people to reset/turn back their system clocks as their workaround.
It seems to me that you have spent some onsiderable time messing with desktop-distros, do you perhaps know some that use a tiling windiw manager?

Have you ever tried i3? Thats the one im about to try out.
I never personally used it, no. That was one of the ones people seemed fond however.

Thank you ;)
So far I have only heard good things about i3

Why don't you recomend Manjaro?
They might be fine now, but they have done some questionable things in the past. That's why I don't really recommend them.
Could you please elaborate? I'm really interested.

Sound cheesy. But I really don't get the SSL thig - why not just get a new certificate?
