BSPWM?
Bspwm is a window manager. Configuration happens in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bspwm/bspwmrc, as per stated here: https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm
- Multiple screens with different resolutions?

What WM should I use?
Use BSPWM. It supports right clicks by default and its modular. You might want to look for status bars that work with it, slstatus does not work. Good luck, supremacist!

What are some OpenSource apps that are the best of their kind?
I had not heard of bspwm but I am a fan of telling WMs. Looking at the documentation now, I really like the pragmatic approach lol https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm

Changing layout of node
If you use the bspwm off of github instead of the old 0.9.10, you can use bspc node @parent -y next to cycle the split type of the parent of the focused. I added it ~1.5years ago, after baskerville added node -y horizontal and node -y vertical to set the split type of a node to vertical/horizontal ~2 years ago.

How to use dump and load state?
Also bspwm's JSON generation and parsing is not great. If you have a window with quotes in its class name, bspwm, when dumping it, will not escape them generating invalid JSON (e.g. {"className":"the "cool" window",) that jq will not be able to read, and even worse, bspwm itself will not be able to read. (Yes, if a window's class name contains a " character, bspwm will fail to reload after you run wm -r #1362).

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.
