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.

A couple of questions regarding Bismuth tiling extension
No, it doesn't have that. Here is the list of layouts.

Manjaro / KDE โ hard to dislike
No I was talking about Bismuth which was amazing and actively maintained but due to kwin updates it's not working and is apparently not going to be updated

kde tilling features needs some attention
KWin used to have no tiling capabilities at all and people came up with lots of add-on scripts like kwin-tiling, Grid-Tiling-KWin, Krohnkite, Bismuth and so on. This gave users tiling, but it was always a bit hackish, getting KWin to do something it wasn't designed to do.

A couple of questions regarding Bismuth tiling extension
I said I was using kwin-tiling-script, and yes, it does have thatโI use[d] it all the time (it's called "Grid" layout)
-
Manjaro / KDE โ hard to dislike
If you're referring to kwin-tiling the author has archived that as of end of 2022 and it's unmaintained. It's not really anything KDE did on purpose except to do the usual updates and that's broken an unmaintained project.

Does KDE have a (official or non-official) tiling mode?
I use kwin tiling

What features is KDE missing according to you
If you are ready to sacrifice gaps (and some other advanced features like taking away title bar from tiled windows) and run multi monitor, then I would suggest kwin-tiling. It has no settings, but out of the box with changing hotkeys similar to i3wm you can get great tiling experience (it even supports moving window from monitor to monitor using meta+shift+hjkl if it hits on the border)
-
Is there a way to increase/decrease the opacity value of one window with the keyboard?
The last DE I used before jumping to bspwm was KDE with kwin-tiling and one of the features I miss is the ability to change "on the fly" the opacity of a given window with keyboard shortcuts.
-
What tiling window method to go for?
I like KWin-Tiling-Script (https://github.com/kwin-scripts/kwin-tiling), but Bismuth has better desktop integration and is more popular.

Arch + Tiling Window Manager
Before making the jump to a tiling WM , I think you should use a tiling KWin script for KDE. It will help you get used to a tiling WM but still have the familiarity of KDE. https://github.com/kwin-scripts/kwin-tiling is a good one that I use.

Praises to the KDE Development Team and KDE Community
Indeed. This has served me well: https://github.com/kwin-scripts/kwin-tiling
