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

        I’m not sure how easy it is to do with GNOME now, but you can often have a WM just replace part of your DE. For a long time I ran i3 as part of an Xfce setup when I had to connect to school wifi.

        Judging by the @s in your comment you are posting this from Mastodon, which severely bungles Lemmy threads. The OP is posting on a Linux community and has a problem that only tiling window managers can really solve, average users don’t matter here.

          I’ve never heard about lemme till today. I’m a twitter refugee so I’m kinda inexperienced with the fediverse, that’s said tho… If someone is using gnome in the year of our lord 2023 they’re probably not the crowd for display managers. I do find the idea quite nice but I’m really wondering why desktop environments suck at windows tiling. It seems like quite an important feature.

            Lemmy is a reddit-like that redditors are migrating to because of reddit’s recent decision to kill 3rd party like twitter did (and their piss poor management, also like twitter). as for why DEs don’t tile windows, the world may never know.
