Tiling requires OMTC + layers acceleration. We have a lot to do before we get there. I recently tested OMTC+tiling on linux and it is very unstable.
These days there's been a lot of efforts put in turning on OMTC for desktop platforms (mac and soon windows). Electrolysis also requires OMTC. So we'll eventually get there on linux too but it's not a top priority for now. It's a great place for contributions, though. If anyone's interested, I can mentor contributions in this area.
