This is me exactly haha. What I really want is just gnome with a little more tiling capability for the rare occasion, like thirds and quarters. But the majority of my tiling needs are in the terminal and tmux is the hero

I'd really like someone to implement https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2023/07/26/rethinking-windo...
It looks great when the windows have no content and fit in any size!
Did you see Pop OS?
They follow ubuntu releases, kind of. The downside, they went all in into their new desktop env - cosmic, and until they release it they won't move on from 20.04..
I really loved the tiling feature in PopOS 20.04 which came out of the box. But then I bought a new laptop, and had to move to arch to use it..

minor correction, 22.04 is the most recent Pop!_OS release so not quite that ancient
right, thanks! i was too quick :(
Tiling Assistant might be worth a try. It can be configured to be pretty out of the way and just add more snapping sizes, different per-monitor if you need.
PaperWM is almost exactly what Niri is in a Gnome extension form. It might actually also be the first to implement that kind of workflow.
