Probably not exactly what you're looking for but i3 could be worth checking out. It's a tiling window manager with a powerful customization/scripting interface and it has a feature to save and restore window layouts. There's also Sway which is similar but based on Wayland though it does not have the save/restore feature.
Granted they might not be as easy to set up as installing PowerToys on Windows if you have specific expectations. (But it's not rocket science either.)
- xen2xen1 4y agoIsn't I3 terminals only? Am I just missing something?
- vladvasiliu 4y agoNo, i3 is a full, graphical, window manager, for graphical applications. https://i3wm.org/ https://i3wm.org/ As GP said, by default, it's automatic, so there are no pre-defined "zones". But it can be scripted to do quite a lot of things.
- t0astbread 4y agoMaybe you're thinking of tmux which splits your terminal into multiple panes and can look similar.

- erikbye 4y agoNot at all. It's a tiling window manager with workspaces, for all your applications. Terminals, web browser, audio settings, etc. Personally I run 10 workspaces, named, e.g. 1:Firefox work, 2:vim, 3:tmux+vim, 4:terminals, etc. I even have a workspace designated to "wasting time", tiled reddit, hn, youtube, etc. Each workspace always have the same apps, tiled in the same way, so I always know where to find what. It's very efficient.
- octagons 4y agoI'm aware of i3 and I think I've tested it out in the past but had some silly nit to pick about it. Thanks for the reminder - I'll give it another try!
