- Good OpenBox alternative with lots of functionality?
-
How hard are Window Managers to use?
You may also want to try xpytile https://github.com/jaywilkas/xpytile/ or zentile https://github.com/blrsn/zentile
- gTile or equivalent
- Are there are DEs or WMs that support auto tiling as PopOS does?
-
Light weight tiling manager for XFCE4 (and others) - a zentile fork with multi monitor support.
I guess this should work for zentile but per https://github.com/blrsn/zentile/blob/master/config.go I am seeing just ignore, not window.ignore? That might be something you know better about. (ignore = ['ulauncher', 'gnome-screenshot'])
-
Anyway to snap application windows to corners, instead of half screen?
Not out of the box, but there's utilities like zentile that work on EWMH-compliant window managers to make them tile -- I'm not sure if elementaryOS's WM, Gala, follows that spec, but if it does then it should work.
- Is there a program like rectangle for Ubuntu?
-
xfwm and i3
No. But you can use zentile

is there any way to make the windows open as in a twm?
I use a combination of https://github.com/programical/pytyle1x/ and https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1016640/ - it's great!
-
Snap windows to 1/3 screen instead of 1/2 in Xfwm4
Perhaps give https://github.com/programical/pytyle1x a go?

I resurrected an abandoned tiling window manager
If possible, open a new issue instead of posting here.

[XFCE] Tiling and floating with PyTyle
WM: xfwm4 + pytyle1x
- PyTyle is dead, long live PyTyle
What are some alternatives?
When comparing zentile and pytyle1x you can also consider the following projects:
cortile - Linux auto tiling manager with hot corner support for Openbox, Fluxbox, IceWM, Xfwm, KWin, Marco, Muffin, Mutter and other EWMH compliant window managers using the X11 window system. Therefore, this project provides dynamic tiling for XFCE, LXDE, LXQt, KDE and GNOME (Mate, Deepin, Cinnamon, Budgie) based desktop environments.
qtile-plasma - 🔮 A flexible, tree-based layout for Qtile
terminator - multiple GNOME terminals in one window
quicktile - Adds window-tiling hotkeys to any X11 desktop. (An analogue to WinSplit Revolution for people who don't want to use Compiz Grid)
