Is Linux More Customizable Than Windows?
Yup. Here is an example list of things you can swap around. https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland

Moving from Plasma, to Sway, some
You didn't say whether your current config is based on X or Wayland therefore two links with Wayland applications. Are we Wsyland yet and awesome wayland
- When do you think you will switch to Wayland?

Wayland Protocol Finally Ready for Fractional Scaling
plenty others of all sorts.
> auto keyboard/mouse scripting with xdotool
There's a few tools for this: https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland#tools
> not have unnecessary mouse/keyboard to monitor delay
There's none that I can notice. Mice cursor are rendered with hardware support

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
Here's one of many forks of an awesome-wayland repository that lists what's going on: https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland
- What are Wayland-native applications and where can I find them?
-
Please do not ship work in progress to users: An open letter from developers to the wider Linux community
customization isn't killed, it just takes time to adapt to a new protocol. check out all the stuff you can do with wayland
- Is there a place to read about recommended SwayWM builds?
-
Krohnkite still does not work in Wayland, and it has not been updated in more than a year. Any alternatives? Is it Kwin's fault?
More specifically, see: awesome-wayland and arewewaylandyet. Sway-addons also has interesting stuff in it, like wl-clipboard which is mostly compatible with Klipper.

Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features
What level are you interested in scripting? In KDE Plasma you can interact with the desktop UI via JS: https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/scripting/
And then for something more sophisticated there are extensions like https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth.
It does all feel a little disorganized/wild-west-y compared to say, a .vimrc with a list of plugins and bindings, which is something that makes a system like Nix (or a fully containerized DE of some kind) appealing

Hyprland Crash Course
It had, but they are all dead until ported to the new kde 6.
https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth/issues/471#issuecom...
This is what I used. I found no good replacement for it and that is what made me switch to hyprland.

This week in KDE: Double-click by default
one thing i would totally recommend for kde is bismuth https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth/
it's tiling for kde and it works REALLY well.

I find myself getting annoyed with having to set each window Up how I like it. So far this is a set up I enjoy when working on projects. How can I get Ubuntu to save this 'set up' so I can quickly open these apps in this view?
Take a look at a tiling window solution. I'm currently using bismuthwith gives similar arrangement to what you're looking for and helps massively with productivity when working on an ultrawide

What is a good windows tiling manager for beginners?
As a good halfway house you could do worse than KDE with Bismuth (https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth), which is an add-in that will give you great tiling capability, fully controllable via the keyboard. Couple this with KDE native virtual desktops and you have a pretty decent tiling window manager.

Why KDE Plasma was chosen as the default desktop environment for Asahi Linux
Plasma 5.27 added in some native tiling support. There are also some kwin scripts available to add tiling to it.

I am a little concerned about Tiling on KDE 6
Not-good stuff: This tiling is very incomplete. It doesn't allow you to snap everything to your tiles at once, it doesn't support different tiles per virtual screen/workspace and, perhaps more importantly, with that addition and Plasma 6 on the way, compatibility with Bismuth and similar addons is getting lost.
-
Trying to make a case for tiling WM.
Since you are already using KDE, you can very easily try how much you like tiling: just install bismuth: https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth It's a plasma add-on that enables tiling in KDE. If you don't like tiling, just disable the plugin again and uninstall bismuth.
