[Feature Request]: Adding more tools and packages for TilingWM as option #1099

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Whenever you install a tiling WM either for X11 or Wayland alongside your Desktop Enviroment you always have a bare minumum setup. Would it be possible to add more tools to be installed.

Describe the solution you'd like

For X11 TilingWM:
lxappearance (for themeing your system), feh, Nitrogen or Waypaper (works both on X11 and Wayland) for setting up your wallpaper, Dunst (for notifications), x11-xserver-utils, xclip, clipman (for Polybar), udiskie (for mounting and unmounting devices), xkb-switch (for switching the keyboard layout) I checked it's not available in Ubuntu Repos only PPA, maybe xset for setting idle blanking,

For Wayland TilingWM:
xwayland, swaylock (for lockscreen) and any other dependencies similar to X11 above, but for Wayland and Waybar. I am not that familliar with Wayland

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe combining everything into 2 scripts one for X11 and other for Wayland and any other tool or dependencies that will install everything at once.

Additional context

How about adding a category called "Tiling Tools" there you would list X11 and Wayland and list all the tools, packages and dependecies that you can install and remove later if you don't need them.
