• Forge vs Tiling ShellTiling Shell uses FancyZones-style custom layouts and a Windows 11 style snap assistant inside GNOME instead of i3 and sway style tree tiling.
• Forge vs SwaySway provides the i3-style tiling workflow directly as a Wayland compositor, which means leaving the GNOME desktop instead of extending it.
• Forge vs Pop ShellPop Shell also adds keyboard-driven automatic tiling inside GNOME, backed by System76 and shipped with Pop!_OS, with development following the GNOME version Pop!_OS uses.
• Forge vs Tiling AssistantTiling Assistant brings Windows-style snap assist and extra layouts to GNOME, maintained under the Ubuntu organisation, rather than i3 or sway style tiling.
• Forge vs PaperWMPaperWM replaces i3-style tiling with scrollable tiling on a horizontal strip inside GNOME, with a settings pane for keybindings and per-app rules.
• Forge vs gTileA GNOME Shell extension that tiles windows onto a configurable grid.
• Forge vs TactileA GNOME Shell extension that places windows on a custom grid using keyboard shortcuts.
• Forge vs i3i3 is the original keyboard-controlled tiling window manager Forge imitates, but it runs on X11 and replaces GNOME rather than running inside it.
