You can request the feature at xfce's gitlab, or write your own script to handle windows however you want. Here are some pre-existing scripts you can try or use for inspiration: x-tile, xpytile.

Is there a way to make the windows open maximised by default?
Perhaps not the most straightforward solution, but you could use a tiling helper script which is able to 'tile' windows maximized per default. For example xpytile https://github.com/jaywilkas/xpytile/ It's pretty OK. Only little problem is with xfce4-terminal which is tiled a few pixels too small, but that seems to be a problem of the terminal app.

question regarding bspwm and xfce

Any plans on porting to wayland?
i'm reading this issue and this thread as i'm looking into migrate to wayland, since sooner or later we'll apparently have (i know this won't be very soon, but wayland is more and more mainstream). I know "any update on this?" is very annoying, and that's why i'm not open an issue, but... Any update on this?

A linux newbie has installed and configured Arch. Minimalist graphical capabilities?
I use the Awesome Window Manager. At it's core, it's a little difficult to figure out. But once you get the hang of assigning hot keys and whatnot, You'll be able to use it more fluently. I use it on all 3 of my machines (two desktops and one laptop). I Love it! I copy my configs from the machine I started it with and put them on the other 2 machines. Works great!
