Here's a video of my workflow if anyone's interested! All the credit for the gorgeous implementation of the tiling goes to the devs over at PaperWM! Better than some tiling WMs that I've tried!

That tiling looks really slick. I'll have to give it a try, I'm using POP_OS Shell right now which does the trick but I'm curious how it stacks up.
I tried POP_OS Shell too, but the animations were just way too janky for me, and I didn't like that. I tried out Forge and some others but they were all pretty much the same. PaperWM on the other hand takes a completely different approach and stacks them in an infinite horizontal scrollable list. After using this implementation for a couple of weeks, I just can't go back to anything else at all!
Have you tried SwayWM? If so, what differentiates Paper from Sway?
I'm asking mainly as a Sway user curious about other options (not because I dislike it, it works pretty well for me and I like the automation aspect).
I did try sway but the first thing I got was a config error... on a completely fresh install!
Anyways, PaperWM is just a Gnome extension, giving tiling within Gnome instead of being a dedicated WM like Sway or i3.
