Is it possible to have new windows open either right or left in gnome?
Using newest GNOME
I want windows of newly opened programs to either go to to to the half left, or half right of the screen when opened, instead of opening in a random place/middle of the screen not maximized
Have you tried the tiling assistant or gtile extensions? Not quite the same as a regular tiling window manager, but tiling assistant works pretty we'll for just snapping and moving windows.
