With this First Look, we will be taking a look at “Tiling Shell”, an open-source window tiling solution for GNOME-equipped systems.

Some key highlights of Tiling Shell include:

Easy multi-monitor operation.

Windows 11-like snap assistant.

Can be used on GNOME 40-46.

Supports both X11 and Wayland.

The level of control it gives is impressive, there are options to tweak the inner/outer gaps between windows, enable snap assistant, configure the tiling system, add keybinds for window management, and more.

In terms of the layout choices, the possibilities are endless (literally), there are some handy pre-configured ones that are usable. But, the main highlight is the layout editor, which is the star of the show.

As for how the multi-monitor experience is, Tiling Shell doesn't disappoint in that matter. It's easy to tile windows between workspaces and displays using the snap assistant, I didn't feel that this behavior was an add-on, it felt quite native to me.
