Windows has virtual desktops with Win + Alt + Tab to show the options and then you can switch with Win + Alt + Left/Right arrow. Also you can tile your apps in every corner/side you want or size? I use a 43" Dell 4k monitor and it even comes with software (Dell Display Manager) to manage all these options.

Microsoft has revived the good old PowerToys as well. It now includes a FancyZones utility that allows to define zones that windows can automatically snap into while dragging them (while holding a key). It also has a setting to overwrite the Win+Arrow key functionality to move windows between these "fancy zones" instead.

Maybe this is interesting for you?

That sounds interesting! Thanks for bringing this to my attention I'll definitely check it out!

Well it's better than alt-tab, but if it relies on arrow keys, it's not ideal. Being able to go directly to any workspace with a dedicated key combo is the best option.
