The ▲ Windows 11 window layout tool reports that the Tiling Assistant GNOME Shell extension will be installed by default as part of Ubuntu 23.04 or Ubuntu 23.10 and will be renamed Ubuntu Tiling Assistant.

As you can see from the figure, the user will be able to drag the application window to both sides of the screen to align it vertically to half the size, or drag the window to the top of the screen to maximize the window. However, the feature is less rich than that of Windows 11.
