Cortile - dynamic tiling for X11 DEs

[bungadrum]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Is there a way to add dynamic tiling into other Desktop Enviroments? I tried installing and setting up i3 and Sway, but I always get errors with the config files or have resolution issues even when the files do work?

Describe the solution you'd like

There is a tool in Github called "Cortile" that is able to apply Dynamic Tiling to other Desktop Enviroments like XFCE, LXDE, LXQt, KDE and GNOME (Mate, Deepin, Cinnamon, Budgie). The binary is available to download, but it hasn't been updated in 4 months. Could you somehow incorporate it into Linutil under Utilities ? Having option to tile without settings up a TilingWM from scratch and messing with the config files.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Adding other TilingWM options to install like i3, Sway or any other now only DWM and Hyprland are available
