Anyone know any decent tiling window managers for windows os? I found bug.n which uses ahk, but it just left me longing for i3.

I used Mosiaco[0] for a while, but I found it more frustrating than useful. The paid version is slightly better but not by much. Eventually I found gaming not to be a good enough reason to use windows as my main os, and now only boot into it if I really wanna play something I can't run in linux/under wine. Window management is my biggest technical/functional gripe with windows. AwesomeWM is just... awesome. [0] http://www.soulidstudio.com/ http://www.soulidstudio.com/

Not a full window manager, but I've used Winsplit Revolution for years to manually re-tile my windows. I have it set to use ctrl+alt and then the grid of keys: qwe asd zxc ...to move windows into corners, sides, or the center of the screen. Hitting the same key over and over re-sizes it to take up more or less of the screen. It's sadly no longer being developed, but works fine on Win8 and Win10 (and so probably will continue to work into the foreseeable future).

I used to use bb4win on Windows (cerca Windows XP). I know this isn't tiling, but I can't seem to get any non-official WM to work right on Windows 8.

Unfortunately it doesn't have the same phenomenal multi-monitor support xmonad provides on linux. It works within the usual windows confines[0]. With xmonad/linux, each workspace is independent of the displays. With pwt/windows, each workspace uses the entire logical display surface.
