From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

XFCE. I also like tiling WMs, but I often have to share computers and they are too unintuitive for the rest of the family.
You can use i3 inside xfce. I think (not sure) you can do this on a per user basis.
You can run i3 inside XFCE on a per user basis, but convincing my wife/kids to swap users when they need the computer for "just a second"...
I just take the win that they are on Linux and use a shared account.
