What I mean is that the two windows open in the bottom of the screenshot appear to be tiled with padding. It looks like Pop Shell is in your menubar as I look at it again, so I guess I answered my own question -- but I've been looking for another way to tile windows in Gnome and I'm not sure it exists.
Oh yes it’s just default pop tiling. Yeah I’m pretty new to Linux. I would love to get out and explore but I also really trust pop a ton to kinda walk me through learning. I can’t wait for cosmic. After cosmic I’ll start experimenting more but this computer is first and foremost for school and I need it to be boringly reliable ha ha so pop it is.
Yep, makes sense. Pop is great tbh, unless you want bleeding edge packages. I haven't had issues with it, and as I mentioned, I think Pop Shell is the only tiling option for Gnome.
