Is there a good tutorial for writing an X11 Tiling Window manager in Rust?
I've looked at these: - DWM: A popular, compact WM written in C - LeftWM: A popular, configurable WM written in Rust - GabelstaplerWM: An obscure, compact WM written in Rust - XCB DWM: An abandoned rewrite of DWM using XCB

Different window managers (e.g. tiling) on Windows?
In particular, I think that "ultrawide-vertical-stack" (based on "CenterMain" from LeftWM) is quite close to what you are looking for. Give it a try with komorebic change-layout ultrawide-vertical-stack!

How do I go about using a tiling manager?
Here are my dots: https://github.com/mautamu/dotfiles/blob/main/leftwm/config.toml, most of the Execute rows will probably not work for you unless you have Rofi, Firefox Developer Edition, xfce4-clipman/screenshooter, and brightnessctl installed, but you can easily replace those as well.
What are some alternatives?
