- I'm a tiling WM user but the concept of the scrolling window managers were new to me. This idea might be experimental but using it was fun. If you want to try it, CardBoard is a good start. I had fun using it for a couple of days and thought it's good to share it with you too.

Cardboard; a scrollable tiling window manager
Er, on my laptop? It might be more precise to say that I can't find any way to make it use anything else; manpages give me nothing, grepping for "layout" in the source tree gives me nothing (relevant; window layouts show up), and there's an open issue (https://gitlab.com/cardboardwm/cardboard/-/issues/30) asking for it, all of which makes me conclude that it doesn't appear to support doing anything but QWERTY. That said, I said "AFAICT" for a reason; if you can prove me wrong I'll be quite grateful (because, seriously, I would like to use this thing).

Introducing River, a Dynamic Tiling Wayland Compositor
Would it be possible to use the 'layout generator' functionality to create scrolling workspaces in the style of PaperWM or cardboard? Where rather than tiling the traditional way into the space available on the monitor, windows are tiled next to each other in columns on an essentially infinitely wide workspace and scrolled to bring the focused window onto the monitor.

Scud - managing windows by tiling and sliding
PaperWM is the original inspiration, but then I acted on the suggestion of one of the developers of cardboard and made a plugin for Wayfire.

Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?
I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) along with skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience.
Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve.

Is there an app that does this Windows feature?

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
Here it is. There is no visualization of the stack, which apparently Stackline in the other comment supports, but I don't tend to need that. Just being able to move between the windows is good enough for me.

Asahi Linux folks are doing us a solid with WPA3 fixes
I use Yabai on my Macs without SIP enabled. Here’s a list of the features that absolutely require SIP to be disabled: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863
But you don’t need to disable SIP just for tiling.
> there's still a ton of tinkering and tweaking you need to do to get Yabai really working correctly
This is pretty much true of basically every tiling window manager on Linux, too.
For me, using Nix-Darwin for MacOS and NixOS has drastically simplified my tiling window manager setup after initially doing the work to figure out my ideal config.

macOS Containers v0.0.1
SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system.

For instance requires SIP to be disabled.

Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
This is disproven by the fact that Yabai [1] can instantly swap spaces with SIP disabled.
