Niri
Niri + QuickShell (e.g. DMS) is already better than what you can get on Windows and Mac. Manual window dragging should die off already (GNOME and KDE; looking at y'all. Linux needs to leave it behind too)
Even tools like PaperWM.spoon can only mimic a fraction of the grace of Niri (no offense to the PaperWM.spoon team; macOS is holding them back)

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.
