Qtile Theme Switching Script
Declaration for each 'theme'. (See qtile-examples for how to separate qtile into multiple files.)

Why do people use functions in their configs?
I'm not completely dumbstruck, for example I can see that in this config the dev uses functions and hooks (idk what hooks are, sounds like a way to add event-driven functionality) to automatically set the window type to floating if the window name is equal to x.

All hail qtile extras (could be done without too though)
You can find some example configs at qtile-examples but, note, some of those configs are quite old.

What's your recommended launcher app in your opinion?
I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

xfce workplace switcher in polybar
Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)

A sensible NixOS Xfce desktop configuration
xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi

How do I go about adding a login screen and power menu to my Hyprland setup?
For power menus and stuff like that, people generally use rofi (there's a fork for wayland), or eww, which is more recent. Waybar could also work I guess.
