Different window managers (e.g. tiling) on Windows?
Have you looked into methods of hotkeying or auto-removing windows titlebars once a window belongs to a container (maybe they can auto-restore if a window is floated/unmanaged)? I know that workspacer and win3m have something like this.

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...
