Made a tiling manager Linux-XFCE to roughly copy Snap-Layout in Windows

Title says all that needs to said about it, admittedly it is stupid to "copy" any Windows feature in Linux but here we are...it is not exactly made for use by extensive audience but just a rough work of it would love any suggestion/critique on it ...

In plain words

Made is a tiling window manager for Linux XFCE that replicates Windows Snap Layout functionality. It allows users to quickly arrange open windows into preset tile patterns, similar to Windows' built-in feature. The tool is designed for XFCE desktop users who want streamlined window management. The creator acknowledges this is an experimental project and welcomes feedback for improvement rather than aiming for broad adoption.

    I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord.
