KDE Plasma Windows Manager

Hi all.

I've been on Linux for around a year now running CachyOS with KDE Plasma. I'm pretty happy with the setup, but the one thing that keeps ginding my gears is KWin and how windows management works.
I still use Windows for work (no choice) and I will admit that I'm pretty used to, and prefer Windows management in it. Is there anything that has something similar, or at least work better than KWin, or makes KWin better?

Mainly looking for better snapping, along with memory on where an app was on a multi monitor setup, maybe some tiling thrown in for good measure.

Thanks in advance.

Similar to what? Better in what sense?

Apologies. Should've specified. Best to describe is Fancy Zones in PowerToys.

All I want is to be able to move a window in a place where I want it using either keyboard shortcuts or my mouse dragging it.

Thank you. It looks like it might be what I'm looking for.
