I'm pretty sure that KDE at least (no idea about gnome) has the same kind of tiling feature that recent Windows version have where dragging a window to the left/right/corners tiles it.
Before I discovered tiling window managers I used to use evilwm and later fvwm customized to work the same as evilwm. Both of those window managers had options to make windows snap to the screen edge or each others borders if moved within so many pixels of each other. Maybe something like that would work for you?
- abrowne 8y agoGNOME has left and right (no corners) by dragging and Super+Left/Right. Recent versions can even drag the middle border to resize both together!
- mikekchar 8y agoIt's been years and years, but for a while I was using various Gnome Shell extensions that gave me tiling window management. I gave up only because I wanted to get out of the Gnome DE (all the associated CPU and memory hogging services that I don't want). I actually have fond memories of Gnome Shell and Mutter -- all of the functionality is exposed through the JS extension infrastructure, so it's virtually trivial to implement any kind of window manager that you want. (well... it helps that I enjoy programming in JS...) I just wish that it was decoupled from Gnome.
- int_19h 8y agoTiling in Windows isn't full featured - you can tile windows by dragging, yes, but as soon as you resize them, you get disconnects. I want something where I can e.g. snap two windows side by side, and then drag the divider between them, such that it resizes both windows.
