Komorebi: Another tiling window manager for Windows 10 based on binary space partitioning
Once again I'm happy to answer any questions, and I want to give a special thanks to nog, leftwm and umberwm, whose work this project borrows from and builds upon.

I found interesting to find that Microsoft has Rust as one of the main "Develoipment paths" to development on Windows.
I wrote my very first window manager for Windows 10 in Rust earlier this here, I built it from the ground up using the new windows-rs crate. It was my first time developing anything for Windows and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the MS documentation ecosystem, and I also had a lot of great example code to learn from thanks to other projects like nog.

Closest thing to i3 on windows
My pick would be nog, also see this post. Probably worth a try.

Can I do this?
Instead of explorer.exe, I use Nog which is a tiling window manager for Windows. I have x410 autostart and wsl launch i3.

[yatta] Windows 10 BSP TWM - looking for contributors
To give credit where it is due, I borrowed and repurposed a fair chunk of code from https://github.com/TimUntersberger/nog, https://github.com/tarkah/grout and https://github.com/yazgoo/umberwm to get up and running.

Ultrawide monitors are overrated, here's why I use a 4K TV instead
I feel like this is a good place for me to plug my Fancy Zones fork, which supports maximizing windows within zones. The latest alpha also supports full-screening videos.

The Power Toys devs have an issue open regarding this feature, and we're figuring out next steps.

FancyZones fork which maximizes windows properly
- AquaSnap (paid) - https://www.nurgo-software.com/products/aquasnap
As a ratpoison [https://ratpoison.nongnu.org/] user, a decade ago, returning to the rigid window management of i3-based window managers, no longer appealed to me.
MaxTo provided much of the experience I was looking for, but random crashes when using multiple desktops and my inability to get custom recipes triggering correctly had me look elsewhere.
FancyZones offered much of the functionality I liked about MaxTo, BUT it did not support keeping maximized windows within a defined zone, so, I added this feature.
It's a bit rough around the edges, but works perfectly for my current workflows.
Grab it here: https://github.com/peddamat/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.58.0-m...
