On GNOME there's a way to get native 2 dimensional workspaces, but AFAIK the only way to enable this is with an extension like workspace matrix. For ctrl+alt+arrow-like shortcuts be sure to set keybindings for switch-to-workspace-arrow and move-to-workspace-arrow in org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings. However, I had some issues with GNOME 40 like: - Changing workspaces with mouse scroll jumps to an adjacent workspace up/down (as expected). Without a device that has horizontal scroll (like a touchpad) you can't go to adjacent workspaces left/right. - There are multiple issues with the workspace thumbnails in the overview.
About the tiling there are extensions that alleviate some of the issues that GNOME's default tiling has. WinTile is one that adds 4 corner tiling just like Windows 10, (although I had some problems with snapping in/out the top panel and ended up not using it. Perhaps one day native 4 corner tiling will be implemented). ShellTile, gTile, PaperWM and the Pop shell are some extensions that give GNOME some advanced tiling capabilities. I personally don't use them as I'm happy with the default stacking GNOME workflow and prefer to use a standalone Tiling WM like sway if I need to, but I see the value in having a Tiling WM in GNOME and these are some of the extensions I've heard the most positive things.
