I've been doing this since Windows 7 and WSL wasn't available then. Old habits die hard, I guess.
I also use Ubuntu with i3 when I'm trying to be particularly productive. Unfortunately Windows doesn't have something I find to be as good (I'm happy for suggestions if you think there's a tiling manager for Windows that's equivalent to i3).
It's more bspwm than i3, but I am the (very active) developer and maintainer of komorebi, a tiling window manager for Windows 10 and 11: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi
