Window Tiling Manager

Hi everybody,

Been using Zorin 15 Ultimate for the past year, barely been digging into Linux.

I was wondering, what window tiling manager does Zorin use?
I am only able to drag a window to the top (full screen), left and right. I was wondering how to configure it to do left bottom, left up, etc.

Zorin 15.2 Ultimate and Core use Gnome which would be Gnome-Shell.

Zorin 15.2 Lite and Ultimate Lite use XFCE desktop environment use the XFDesktop Window Manager.

If you prefer something more than the usual Gnome-likes-to-remove-useful-features, there are add ons or Gnome Extensions you can install to achieve a more...complete... window tiling manager.
A couple of examples are ShellTile and gTile.
