Help me understand the possibilities of Bash (best uses, etc)
Aside from the obvious uses - command line scripts - you can also do quite a bit with the GUI. Check out Yad for bash script GUI. X11 related tools like wmctrl, xdotool allow you to create spectacular scripts. I write and use numerous dynamic menus created with bash + jgmenu.

A little bit confused about window managers
rofi or dmenu are often used and I can recommend them too. These programs are graphical that can be used to build your own menu with a few options and arguments. They also have some functionality to show you installed programs on your system and execute it. Qtile itself have such a functionality too: DmenuRun . And there is a menu program that will list applications like KDE startmenu with categories does in example: jgmenu

HELP: A dmenu script that categorize applications
If you want a working alternative, I use jgmenu. It's pretty light. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu
- Any good shutdown, hibernate, reboot, etc menu?

I wrote a script to resize the focused window to an aspect ratio.
It's jgmenu!

is Openbox still being developed?
It is worth adding that Johan is also the author of an excellent jgmenu. So labwc is a serious project led by a great developer. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu

| first build tips - openbox maybe?
For a start menu similar to what you'd have in Windows, you can use something called jgmenu which you can read more about here https://jgmenu.github.io/. To get a start button for jgmenu, you can add a button to tint2 and bind it to jgmenu, you can select an icon, place text for it, or do both.

Nsxiv image viewer, how to navigate
I just installed Nsxiv image viewer https://codeberg.org/nsxiv/nsxiv on my Manjaro, but how to navigate in a folder full of pictures? I am using the mouse to open a picture then I would like to be able to navigate to the next or previous image, but I can't figure out how to do that...

Neovim GUI for Jupyter Notebooks
I use my fork of magma-nvim. To view graphs from matplotlib and the like, I just save them to a file and run nsxiv on the produced pic. (but magma also supports showing graphs with ueberzueg, assuming you have a terminal that supports it)

SXIV/NSXIV alternative for windows?
Compile the code for Windows - it's all on GitHub

Image viewer with gallery preview

NSXIV 27.1 finally out! - community continuation of sxiv
To me, sxiv is the best minimal image viewer, the thumbnail mode is great and the default keybinds make sense. Once this gets proper support for pipes, I'll be able to finally ditch feh.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing jgmenu and nsxiv you can also consider the following projects:
rofi - Rofi: A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement [Moved to: https://github.com/davatorium/rofi]
feh - a fast and light image viewer
labwc - A Wayland window-stacking compositor
imv - Image viewer for X11/Wayland
tint2
devour - X11 window swallower
tokyonight.nvim - 🏙 A clean, dark Neovim theme written in Lua, with support for lsp, treesitter and lots of plugins. Includes additional themes for Kitty, Alacritty, iTerm and Fish.
pqiv - Powerful image viewer with minimal UI
WinCenterTitle - WinCenterTitle is a simple tool that allows you to center align the text in Windows 10 titlebars, the same way it was in Windows 8, 8.1, or even 3.1.
microwindows - The Nano-X Window System
dwm_lut - Apply 3D LUTs to the Windows desktop for system-wide color correction/calibration
