Tiling Shell is a GNOME Shell extension that adds advanced tiling window management to GNOME, extending the default two-column tiling to arbitrary custom layouts. It supports Windows 11-style Snap Assistant, Fancy Zones, a built-in layout editor, multi-monitor setups, and keyboard shortcuts on GNOME Shell 42-49 for both X11 and Wayland.
Use cases
- tile windows into custom layouts on GNOME
- get Windows 11 snap assistant on Linux
- manage windows across multiple monitors with different scaling
- create and edit custom tiling layouts like Fancy Zones
- tile windows with keyboard shortcuts
- automatically tile new windows
- resize adjacent tiles together with smart resize
When to choose
- you use GNOME Shell 42-49 and want flexible, non-strict tiling
- you want Fancy Zones or Snap Assistant behavior on Linux
- you need multi-monitor tiling with per-workspace layouts
- you want a visual layout editor and seamless GNOME theme integration
When to avoid
- you use KDE, i3, Sway, or another non-GNOME desktop environment
- you run a GNOME version outside the supported 42-49 range
- you want strict auto-tiling like a tiling window manager (e.g., i3, Hyprland)
- you need a distribution-independent window manager rather than a GNOME extension
