From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In KDE Plasma, Super + T brings up a built in tiling feature. It's super basic, but allows you to set static window snap zones on any display.
Each zone can be split horizontally or vertically, and you can adjust the zone-gaps to the exact pixel you want.
It's not dynamic as far as I know, but for me it's all I need.
Once you go back into regular desktop mode, you can use the zone snaps by holding shift while you drag a window. Releasing the window while holding shift will snap the window into the current snap zone it's closest to.
I came here to make a similar comment. In KDE just use.. I could swear it was ctrl+alt+arrow key but a quick search tells me it's meta+arrow key (currently on my phone) to tile windows if I want. Quarter or half sceen tiling works for me so I'm content with that. OP didn't specifically say dynamic tiling so perhaps one of these methods will be sufficient for OP?
I'll check out that tiling feature mentioned above, I wasn't aware of it and am curious!
