- Sizer http://www.brianapps.net/sizer (because I prefer my windows spawning with customized size and placement; pretty sure KDE offers similar stuff by default)

- Xlaunchpad http://www.xwidget.com/ (mimicking OSX Launchpad feature on Windows; I'm using it with double-click the desktop to invoke setting)

- Everything https://www.voidtools.com/ (default W10 files indexing and search replacement)

- Notepad2-mod https://xhmikosr.github.io/notepad2-mod/ (Notepad replacement)

Sizer - I have been using a custom script in DisplayFusion* to accomplish a similar purpose but I like the interface with sizer more (especially the ability to make preset sizes). Thanks for sharing.

I'd suggest using 4.0 version and set it to run with administrator rights - I'm not sure if author has already solved this but context menu invoked on window border tend to bug in the past under W10.

I can't speak about KDE in particular, but I use a command line program called wmctrl to size windows to specific pixel dimensions.
