Making Certain Programs Transparent Instead of Making Whole Terminal Transparent
So, I use stuff like cava (audio visualizer) and btop in my Alacritty Terminal (BSPWM to run cava, i had to use terminal right and cava launches in terminal, I wanted to know whether i could run my cava or btop or any other terminal application transparent without making my whole terminal transparent.

Old timey radio refurbishing - and a side quest- unsure how to go about it
3) In progress: a Philco free-standing radio housing from the 40s. I'm using one of Parts Express' boombox kits for the audio, and a Pi (with a long, narrow TFT) running https://github.com/karlstav/cava where the radio frequency display used to be. This also would be a nice candidate for a solution like the one you shared.

Using an LED Ring with Raveberry
In the first video, you can see how the LEDs light up to the beat of the music in realtime. In order to produce this effect, multiple steps are necessary. First, mopidy (the music player) duplicates the audio output into a fake pulseaudio sink. cava then captures the audio from this sink and transforms it, splitting it into its frequencies. Raveberry maps these frequencies to colors from red to blue and lights up the LED ring accordingly. Since the transformation takes a short amount of time, the audio output is delayed by approximately that time to sync the light flashes with the beat. All in all, this allows for a pretty neat sound-reactive spectrum visualization on the LED ring.

CRAV, the Rust Audio Visualizer
It is a Cli-based Audio Visualizer completely written in rust with an additional wgpu backend and it is heavily inspired by cava.

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

Got some questions before moving to linux...
I am not familiar with that distro at all, so no idea. KDE Plasma is fine, I use it myself (with BSPWM as my window manager, but that's irrelevant)

MacBook Setup - OS Ventura 13.1 - Samsung QLed 43” - VM: yabai - Terminal: Hyper
There's a paradigm shift required for a lot of people to start using automatic tiling window managers. Yabai is basically a bspwm port for MacOS and it follows the rules of binary space partitioning. In fact, bspwm has a great diagram on its github readme that illustrates how it works. This will limit the number of windows you can have on any given desktop. To overcome this limitation you use multiple desktops. A lot of people will designate desktops specifically for specific applications that they might need to bring up together. For example, you might have one desktop dedicated to all communication applications like Slack, Discord, Email, etc. You swap between desktops and windows using hotkeys that you can assign using whatever program you like, but yabai's maintainer also maintains skhd which allows you to bind hotkeys to yabai commands to perform actions on windows and spaces.

How much better is neoVim? Is it really that much better than VsCode?
It’s night and day. I also combine a heavily customized NeoVim config (https://github.com/tomit4/notes/tree/main/nvim) with a tiling window manager (https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm), the espanso text expander (https://espanso.org/), Vimium in the browser (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/), and a 40% ortholinear keyboard(https://drop.com/buy/planck-mechanical-keyboard).

What are some alternatives?
When comparing cava and bspwm you can also consider the following projects:
i3 - A tiling window manager for X11
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
i3-gaps - i3-gaps – i3 with more features (forked from https://github.com/i3/i3)
cli-visualizer - CLI based audio visualizer
river - [mirror] A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
bismuth - KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm.
herbstluftwm - A manual tiling window manager for X11
conky - Light-weight system monitor for X, Wayland, and other things, too
polybar - A fast and easy-to-use status bar
spectrwm - A small dynamic tiling window manager for X11.
dunst - Lightweight and customizable notification daemon
nord - An arctic, north-bluish color palette.
