Did you find any solutions for tiling windows vertically?

Windows 10 definantly does not do this well.

FancyZones (part of Microsoft PowerToys) works well for me. I also like the fact that it's first-party, free and open-source:

I just downloaded it..

Why does Microsoft not promote this more?

I may not need to use Linux now for a while

On macOS I use hammerspoon to define window positioning keyboard shortcuts. With my 4k monitor I can place windows in a 4x2 grid, or 4 columns (both similar layouts to my two-screen setup), or 3 columns, or left half / right half / middle half (with two narrow columns either side).

On Linux I use i3wm, but I have not yet configured it for my 4k setup.

I use Divvy[1]. It also works on MacOS. I use gTile on Linux. The combination lets me use the same keyboard short cuts (or close enough) on all 3 OSes.
