https://awesomewm.org/ - that seems very interesting and well worth further investigation. Thank you for the pointer!
What is DE? please
DE is a Desktop Environment, ie the bunch you will receive with KDE, ie a Window Manager, A FileManager and so one, each one is somewhat integrated with other and share a same "look and feel"
WM is only the Window Manager, ie. the thing that will show windows on the scree, no FileManager etc, you choose whatever component you prefer and make the glue bewtween them.
I use OpenBox as WM and some initialization scripts to launch my panel, my conky bar info, opne three terminals in first panel and show, etc, I'm using thunar as FileManager, but it works, and is heavily personalized, I can control WM shortcuts and moved them to not interfere with other components shortcuts, as example I click on the titlebar and hit windows key to activate the move action, and so on. Drawback is the fact that you have to write configuration files.
