There are plenty of TWMs out there, you can find dozens of spins that have similar functionality that are maintained by like one 18 year old furry kid on a budget of $15
Fedora also has an i3 spin if you want to try something atomic.

I run my laptop without a GUI at all, just live in tmux. I’ve even vibed up a bunch of TUI utilities to make my browserless life easier. Ran i3 for years before that. Didn’t occur to me that I should ask for donations.

The i3 spin is not atomic, you have to get Sway Atomic for that.
