I really want to have better tiling and window management in Gnome. Ubuntu has an add-on released with 23.10 that I haven't got around to test yet. And I know that Gnome has that feature in the works, but it annoys me that Windows 11 has better management of windows with window-snapping than my DE of choice.

I'm not a Gnome user, but I'm geniunely hyped for the new tiling feature. If KDE doesn't get something similar soon I might change DE just for that.

Which new tiling feature?

The one the Gnome team is working on right now, as described here.

The basic premise of rearranging windows at an optimal size, without stretching them out to fill fractions of the screen, seems like the perfect medium between floating and tiling.

I use the forge extension, about 80% satisfied. Only issue I have is that all windows open on my second monitor and I have to move them.

I find I have that issue in Windows 10. There's not much consistency between applications in terms of which monitor or even desktop they'll launch in when I open them.
