Smart Window Tiling for Gnome

Window Shuffler

Natively on Ubuntu Budgie, but if you don't mind setting up manually, it should work on all window managers that support the dependencies (not wayland): WindowShuffler

It can be used both via GUI as well as via (basic) keyboard support.

I found Shell Tile to be a pretty good alternative for Gnome. However, it isn't as clean as Mosaic.


What about gTile? It's quite flexible to configure (supports a variety of customizable grid sizes) and supports multiple monitors. You bring the window you want to to apply tiling to focus and manage it through the dialog pop-up with keyboard shortcuts or with the mouse.

I only use Linux so I never heard of Mosaic, but it looks impressive, Shell Tile on the other hand did not look like what I wanted when I tried it. Should I give it another try?
