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.

is there a good video demonstrating it? I use Cinnamon on Linux Mint and want to know what I'm missing out on.
You can use gtile on mint. It’s in the extensions settings
Does that auto tile though?
TIL. Thanks
I believe pop does a river style tiling system. Look up videos on Niri, Cosmic, or PaperWM.
There are many other tiling types too. River is however my favorite and I think most intuitive. Other popular ones are Sway, i3, and HyprLand.

There exists a ton of youtube content creators showcasing all the tiling window managers. It's like one of the most popular topics for linux enthusiast content creators.
Honestly I am new to this, so I could not find anything for it. But I think YouTube will have a video or two.
