Uh, windows has pretty great tiling builtin (albeit disabled by default) and it gets even better by installing Microsoft powerToys (FancyZones) .

It's not fully automated (or "dynamic") like i3/sway but works great. it's in many ways a lot better (i.e the preconfigured tiling setups you can quickly activate by hovering over the maximize buttons etc).

In other ways it's indeed worse, mainly because its not dynamic. But it's not just worse



But if you'd want workspaces you'll get exactly 4 from another 'power toy' and it'll break some video conferencing software for unclear reasons.

I use Windows sometimes and have people I work with that use Windows and in comparison Debian is a breeze. No problems with drivers, no waiting for three minutes because some kernel adjacent service wants to check every file you're deleting in a batch of some thousands, no ads or useless popups about the weather two hours ago, &c. &c.
