Help. I’m using the PopOS tile windows extension(not on popOS) and most apps when opens after boot opens in a weird zoomed way as shown.

Disable GNOME's tiling code, by installing https://github.com/Leleat/Tiling-Assistant instead.
Gnome has no thumbnails in the file picker (and my toilets are blocked)

This comment might come off a little off-topic but I think it's pretty related.
The Gnome Project has always struck me of having this Apple-Like attitude of "We know Best", and subsequently ignoring/shrugging off user concerns/issues/etc.
It's pretty obvious that Gnome is at the very least "inspired" by macOS. Heck Apple started version bumping by whole numbers at right about the same time Gnome switched from 3.x to 4x.
I use it on my Touchscreen Convertible Laptop, since it supports multi-touch gestures (on the touchpad too), and as long as I install extensions to bend Gnome to my will, it seems to work pretty darn well for me. (For example, adding window tiling with the https://github.com/Leleat/Tiling-Assistant extension).
Perhaps there is a better way that I should switch too, but currently I remain ignorant.
Window tiling to quads?

Ahh. Okay you need to install it from GitHub instead of the GNOME website then. The author fixed the multi-monitor tiling bug (discussion) but it's only available via GitHub at the moment:

Sure. The desktop environment is Gnome, with Night Theme Switcher and Rounded Window Corners extensions enabled. The wallpaper is Sunset from oviotti's DeviantArt. The terminal is Kitty with the Alabaster Dark theme enabled (the light theme switches the terminal colors automatically with an additional kittens theme command set in the Night Theme Switcher automatic switch options). The kitty config allows for no client-side decorations and padded borders which is how I get no title bars for the terminal. The Dilbert themed fetch tool is Fetch-master 6000, highly configurable and looks utterly adorable. I'm using Mozilla's "Fira Sans Book" from the main reposittory for the interface, "Inter" for document text from here and "Iosveka Regular" and "Iosevka Term" from Peter Wu's copr for the monospace and terminal fonts respectively. The cursors are from Phinger. Finally, I applied the dynamic triple/double buffering patch from here for a bit more smoothness in the rendering and animations. Hope that helps :)
