How strict are we on what constitutes a tiling wm? I’ve swapped the shell on win XP … not sure how 11 would fare

Looks like the built-in window organizing thing Win11 comes with. When you drag a window to the top edge a little menu pops open for tiling your open windows.

Doesn’t work with every window though, but browsers and spotify can be arranged that way.

Tiling capabilities don’t make a window manager a tiling Window manager. They would have to tile by default and when ever another app gets opened.

There is GlazeWM (simlar to i3 - the only one that works properly on my win11 spyware), I use it daily for work (company laptop).

These are also: Komorebi (too buggy for me) Workspacer (like dwm) - used to crash alot before bug.n (dwm fork with the bar and same congih in ahk) - dead nowdays

I’ve used GlazeWM a bit before switching fully https://github.com/glazerdesktop/GlazeWM

That counts imho.
