I wish someone would make a tiling desktop environment instead of only a window manager to make them easy to use for all without tweaking because they are the future of the DEs.
Theres a gnome extension for tiling.
You can use your favorite windowmanager with your favorite Desktop. That said, KDE has tiling capabilities.
You may want to adjust your keyboard

Sure I do. Auto correct gets me all the time.
The newest KDE Plasma versions have tiling buiilt in. But you can also install Kwin plugin called Krohnkite, which is really neat.
There is an extention of Gnome called pop-shell that does exactly what you want
I personally use the tiling features recently introduced in plasma. For my needs it works just fine.
You can actually tell KDE to use a window manager other than KWin. I’ve used i3 with KDE like this in the past, and it’s pretty good as long as you tweak the i3 config a bit. Somebody wrote a guide here with the necessary config changes.
Little disclaimer: I’ve not done this in years, but the linked guide was update recently so I believe it should still work ok.
You can use qtile with gnome
Not perfect, but flakey in places, but it does a lot of what you want, it’s tiled gnome.
It is also a bit ancient, isn’t it?
KDE has pretty good tiling functionality these days, not much need in using another WM unless you have a very specific workflow in mind
I once saw a video which showed off the built-in Plasma tiling feature and complained that it could not have been developed by a tiling WM user, since it was very inflexible and mouse focused. He could not use it with a keyboard, which kind of defeats the purpose of tiling in the first place.
I’m using Pop_Os! Since 1.5 years and I basically fell in love with it. I was super annoyed with Gnome not having it and KDE being overkill for my personal use. I’m now using Pop_OS! At home and at work and patently waiting for the coming changes that they’re doing using Rust :)
You can add the same feature to gnome…
