What's the software you couldn't live without?
rEFInd - so much better than grub KeePassXC - cross platform, database stored on my own Nextcloud instance. rsnapshot-timestamp - Not been updated for 7 years but works and is brilliant kdiff3 - best diff viewer htop - many people don't scratch below the surface. eg. env, strace rutorrent - not just for seedboxes lutris - looks vile (imho) but very powerful qdirstat - where's all that space gone ? ncdu excellent on servers

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.

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.
