Many existing solutions feel outdated and lack in user experience, so my goal with Tiling Shell is to bring a fresh, integrated approach that works well for both newcomers and advanced users.

Hey HN, I’m excited to share Tiling Shell, an open-source GNOME extension I created to bring a more modern, user-friendly window management experience to Linux. Many existing solutions feel outdated and lack in user experience, so my goal with Tiling Shell is to bring a fresh, integrated approach that works well for both newcomers and advanced users. Demo video: https://youtu.be/RBoO5lgR1kA?t=20 by Omg Ubuntu Key Features: - Easily manage, edit, create, and delete custom layouts with a built-in editor. - Works seamlessly across multiple monitors, even with different scaling factors. - Provides Windows 11’s snap assistant functionalities, supports keybindings and much more! I’m excited to keep improving Tiling Shell, adding more customization options and compatibility features. Check it out here: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/7065/tiling-shell/ The GitHub repo (https://github.com/domferr/tilingshell) contains more details and demos. I’d love to gather feedback from the HN community on features, improvements, and ideas for future versions <3

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
