What are some good X window managers with strong focus stealing and raising protection?

I’m sick of Kwin. I like the way it looks, but its focus stealing protection is broken. I like to tab out and read ebooks while my games are on loading screens. Some games decide to take focus while they’re in the middle of a loading screen. That’s why I configured Kwin with high focus stealing protection, and extreme on those particular games. Sadly, it doesn’t work. There’s no raising protection, and the “keep below other windows” rule is completely nonfunctional. Also, some of the Kwin maintainers are assholes.

I want to try a new window manager. One with strong focus stealing and raising protection. And I’m on NVIDIA, so no Wayland for me yet. Any recommendations?

I3, awesomewm, qtile or dwm since you’re specifying xorg and window manager. Atleast you can use virtual desktops instead of alt-tabbing then.

Wayland has been fine on nvidia for a while now.
