Cinnamon 6.6.7 Automatic Tiling - beta
https://github.com/perlgui/cinnamon-automatic-tiling
This is working pretty well even without Muffin being patched. It's easy to completely disable tiling and switch between manual and automatic tiling via the GUI. Application exclusion from tiling, custom border width, gap width between tiles, gap width between tiles and screen edges, and accent border color can also be configured via the GUI. You can also minimize and unminimize tiles with the remaining tiles automatically retiling.
Once Muffin matures as a native Wayland compositor, it will have full control over the rendering pipeline and compositor effects. Smooth tiling animations like those in Hyprland and Niri would be implementable the same way they are there - as compositor-level transitions applied when windows are repositioned and resized.
