elementaryOS is always showing grub on boot. Is there a way to disable it?
I know of two ways to solve this: 1. (Easy) install Deb package from link: https://github.com/swanux/plymouth_theme_elementary_legacy/releases/tag/5.1 2. On Greeter's github user "dennismayr" made a comment teaching how to manually restore the Splash Screen: https://github.com/elementary/greeter/issues/554

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

What are some alternatives?
