[Feature Request] A virtual monitor system that supports floating windows and wayland #381

Hopefully this is the right section, apologies if it's not. I want to make the request for a system that allows larger (mainly super/ultrawide) monitors to be split into smaller monitors. One of the missed opportunities for ultrawides or just larger monitors in general is that you could set up a layout for your current task. There are some solutions that get close to what I am describing but they generally all fail in one way or another, whether it be:

Ideally a minimum viable solution would be:

Then for a more feature complete experience:

Hopefully I have described the feature well enough, but I am happy to add any extra information people would like to know.

This is similar but a better solution than what I just posted here: I must of missed this https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic/issues/409

I really like your idea of Virtual Monitors and customizing the size of these virtual monitors based off your primary display

Glad to see I'm not the only one who wants this feature. As it turns out that this repo is for the current Gnome based version of Cosmic I made another post on the new Rust based version here. Although not as detailed, I should probably copy it over. My guess if System76 is likely to add this feature anywhere it would be to the new DE they are writing
