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.

Quarter tiling is huge on a 4K screen. I use a 4K screen when I'm doing YouTube programming videos sometimes and want to have OBS, a camera preview, an HDMI capture preview, and sometimes an app I want to put on screen open at the same time and quarter tiling is great for this. I currently have to use an extension to get this functionality on GNOME, but it would be awesome to have it built in.
Seems like quarter tiling is a nice start, with additional splitting when dragging a window over another as shown in the OP.
