From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wish Linux had Powertoys Fancy Zones
kde plasma has it enabled by default. just drag your windows using shift. also press super + t to enter the editing mode
But then I'd have to use kde. 😣
Yup
Holy shit. This is what I needed. Thank you, thank you!
What's that?
Splits my Ultrawide into several customised sections that I can snap Windows to.
As I'm dragging a window I simultaneously right click and a bunch of zones appear that I can snap it to.
I have an Ultrawide and a portrait 1440p that are split vertically and horizontally respectively.
Basically KDEs tiling
The main reason I started using Linux is because I wanted to use tiling window managers. Maybe take a look at some of those. It's the same idea as Fancy zones just cranked up to 100
