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.

Ideal Monitor Rotation for Programmers
It's exactly how it works but only if you have mutliple screens.
My comment was that, for this reason, 2 or 3 smaller (ish- ~27") 16:9 4k screens [1] (previously, 4–6 even smaller 4:3 screens) works much better for me because I can switch the spaces on my Macbook and i3/Sway virtual desktops on my Linux machine individually for each screen.
If we're talking about having a smaller number of giant screens it would need to be able to be partitioned into logical "zones" for virtual desktops to enable this way of managing sets of windows together, and I've not found anything that really does this, let alone does it well (though honorable mention to HerbstluftWM [2] which I think, with patience, could probably do something pretty close).
[1] preferably 16:10 but that seems to have died out as an aspect ratio :(

Bare bone distro that i can custumize has i want for old pc ish?
Lately I have been playing with herbstluftwm on Artix with dinit, and I dig it. The way it behaves is quite a bit different from other window managers I have used in the past, and it did take some getting used to at first, but after experimenting with the config for a couple days I ended up with a pretty deadly and very intuitive setup that - despite running on X11 - "feels" more like a proper battlestation for sure...

Command to spawn a bunch of applications on specific tags
Rules can have once and maxage properties - see hlwm's exec_on_tag.sh script for some inspiration.

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
A few projects like AwesomeWM, and Herbsluftwm have had discussions on their issue trackers about supporting Wayland but a lot of them devolve into "Hey when will this be ready" style of comments, there's an interest in doing it but nobody is personally willing to take on the challenge

Herbstluftwm VS Frankenwm?
- The commit messages - I run the git version, so I like to read about the latest features and fixes. These tend to be more verbose on a feature or fix than the docs, so it can be more helpful. - https://github.com/herbstluftwm/herbstluftwm/commits/master

opinions on my desktop?
It's herbstluftwm, a Window Manager! https://herbstluftwm.org/

What softwares do you recommend to a daily use BSD system?
The nicities that I pull would be the file browser from ROX, and a tiling window manager such as herbstluftwm. I could do everything I do today without these, such as with a terminal or OpenBSD's 'cwm', but I really enjoy using them!
- Focus in max layout
