One thing you’ll have to learn to deal with is that it isn’t Windows. Some things will work differently, or the specific tool or functionality you’re used to might not exist. There are probably different solutions to the same problem that might do the job, but may be different than what you had before. It’s the same with everything. There’s tradeoffs, and you have to come to terms with and get used to the differences. You can fight it and try to force it to be what you are used to, or you can get used to what it is.
This isn’t to say to give up on your search. I don’t know what FancyZones is or what it does. I’m just saying be open to learning a new way to do something. I’ve seen a lot of people struggle trying to make their system into a Windows clone, and it ends up being more trouble than just coming to terms with it being different.
I get that, FancyZones let’s you use keyboard shortcuts to move windows into custom configured zones. Typically I split my screen into a 2 up on the left, single in the middle, and 2 up on the right and I can move apps into those zones with just the arrow keys.
The annoying part of any current Linux solution for me is I have to use the mouse and resize a window and move it into what would normally be a zone. I’d prefer to be able to never use a mouse and be able to move a window with shortcut keys into a predefined zone and size.
