Lets take a look at Qtile layouts. Qtile has several built-in layouts available for us, and all of them are configurable with their own arguments that you can pass to the specific layout. In this video we just focus on three built-in qtile layouts to get the general idea of how you can configure the layout of your own liking.
Read the docs for the built-in layouts for qtile: docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/ref/layouts.html

Qtile is a simple, lightweight and extensible tiling window manager for GNU/Linux that is written and configurable with python. This makes qtile much more accessible than other tiling window managers because more people are fimiliar with python. Even if you are not familiar with python, it is an easy language to pick up. Qtile also provides great documentation so you can quickly start hacking on it. Qtile also has great built-in components like extensions, hooks, layouts and widgets. If you are not using a display manager, qtile can be started using .xinitrc by putting "qtile start" at the end of the file.
Fun fact:
The "Q" in Qtile has no relation to Qt or anything else for that matter. The developer simply searched for the first letter that wasn't registered in a domain name with "tile" as a suffix.
