undefined> If you’re trying to get it to act like Windows or your favorite Linux window manager, you’ll find it frustrating. However, if you absolutely insist then you should just install a third-party window snapping tool.

I mean there are things in Gnome that I prefer but what I found useful was to start using the workspaces / virtual desktops more and using the three finger swipe up a lot on my Air. That helped when using multiple profiles on chrome a lot because using cmd + ` was just not it for me.

Auto snapping would be great but at least you can tile windows to left / right so that's something and you can add keybinds for it

Virtual desktops (accessible with keyboard shortcuts) are a must IMO. I usually set up ten of them at a time- MacOS is actually mostly ok in that regard, expect for the fade animation you can never turn off, and the fact that as soon as you full-screen a window, the system insists on moving it to a totally new workspace (that can't work with any your predefined shortcuts), instead of just full-screening it within the current desktop. What were they thinking?
