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 ?

    idk about gnome but this sounds like you should look into tiling window managers

    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.

    For Gnome i use PaperVM as tiling manager. Easy to use and easy to install, just look at the github readme.

    Well I don’t think the philosophy of Gnome is to really have a lot of different windows in the same workspace.

    The idea would be to move them to a different workspace so that you can really focus on what you’re doing.

    That being said, if you have a big screen, I’d understand why you want to do that.

      Yeah I use workspaces too, it’s just that each of them have 2 windows placed besides each other as if each were a “normal sized” display
