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.

Using newest GNOME

I want windows of newly opened programs to either go to to to the half left, or half right of the screen when opened, instead of opening in a random place/middle of the screen not maximized

is it possible ?

Have you tried the tiling assistant or gtile extensions? Not quite the same as a regular tiling window manager, but tiling assistant works pretty we'll for just snapping and moving windows.

gtile might be what I was looking for, ty
