I will be surprised if someone can make a tiling WM in Windows

DWM has a windows port.

Looks like the built-in window organizing thing Win11 comes with. When you drag a window to the top edge a little menu pops open for tiling your open windows.

Doesn't work with every window though, but browsers and spotify can be arranged that way.

Tiling capabilities don't make a window manager a tiling Window manager. They would have to tile by default and when ever another app gets opened.

He literally just answered the question, why respond like you're correcting him?

How strict are we on what constitutes a tiling wm? I've swapped the shell on win XP .. not sure how 11 would fare

There is GlazeWM (simlar to i3 - the only one that works properly on my win11 spyware), I use it daily for work (company laptop).

These are also: Komorebi (too buggy for me) Workspacer (like dwm) - used to crash alot before bug.n (dwm fork with the bar and same congih in ahk) - dead nowdays

I’ve used GlazeWM a bit before switching fully https://github.com/glazerdesktop/GlazeWM

That counts imho.
