Auto tiling
As you can see here, here, here and here some work was done long ago to introduce different tiling options but this feature was never top priority for head dev.

Layout differencies eOS 5.1.7 vs. eOS 7
it was broken here https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1304/commits. I'm too lazy to revert that code but it's possible to fix the gtk2 dimm bug (which possibly also fixes the rest too)

Can one write pantheon extensions (like for gnome-shell)?
For hiding applications from overview, or showing only windows of the focused app you would need to patch gala, the window manager. It is written mostly in vala, and uses libmutter (the same lib for gnome-shell's window management) underneath. Apparently it has a "plugin" system, but I'm not versed enough that those plugins have to be there at compile time or can be separately compiled. Here's the code: https://github.com/elementary/gala
- Does anybody know if the Pantheon desktop has fullscreen unredirection?

What exactly would a port to Wayland entail?
There’s a link to a wiki on that project board with that info :) https://github.com/elementary/gala/wiki/Experimenting-with-Wayland

A Sneak Peek at Zorin OS 17
You can steal it from here. I might also use it nowvafter they finally released a GTK 4 version. The dark purple one looks the best in my opinion.

Zorin had an incurable, recurring audio error the last time I used it, so are there any distros that are exactly like Zorin in almost every way? Thank you.
You can theme your OS to look like Zorin. Their themes are available on Github: https://github.com/ZorinOS/zorin-desktop-themes If you use KDE, it's even easier - someone did exactly that: https://store.kde.org/p/1769479

Layout differencies eOS 5.1.7 vs. eOS 7
Other useful info: while researching the gtk2 problem I've come to the fact that many custom themes got problems with gtk2 apps (DC is one example). Probably the default elementary os theme has trouble too and I guess this is correct seeing how it behaves in your case. The only two themes that are working for me is Zorin and Lavanda theme. Maybe you can move the gtk2 folder from eOS 5.1.7 themes to 7.0 and it works. idk. it's only an assumption. the screenshot is from zorin-grey-light theme

What type of desktop is this?
Default Zorin OS uses GNOME + Zorin taskbar + Zorin icon themes + Zorin desktop themes.
