After 6 Years, One of Wayland’s Most Annoying Problems is Finally Getting Fixed (itsfoss.com)

There is a new merge on the Wayland GitLab repo. This new merge (of an old pull request) adds xdg-session-management protocol to Wayland. This is a big development and certainly a feature Linux users will enjoy.

As per the brief message in merge request:

For a variety of cases it's desirable to have a method for negotiating the restoration of previously-used states for a client's windows. This helps for e.g., a compositor/client crashing (definitely not due to bugs) or a backgrounded client deciding to temporarily destroy its surfaces in order to conserve resources.

This protocol adds a method for managing such negotiation and is loosely based on the Enlightenment "session recovery" protocol which has been implemented and functional for roughly two years.

In simpler words, session recovery is finally coming to Wayland.

Combine that with multi virtual desktops and pain is much worse. TBH my top priority would be browsers.

Lately I'm having issues where I have some windows set to open full screen on the second monitor (not even full screen, just making it manually take all the space) via Kwin, but since I have a top toolbar panel on the main monitor, the fucker opens with an empty space above where the imaginary toolbar would be.

I've checked mostly everything and now it only happens in a game so I just set it to full screen and then windowed full screen again and I don't need to worry until I reopen the game, so it's mostly a non issue. In KDE's defense, the game does open correctly, it just resized afterwards so it seems like a game issue.

Besides that game though, every other program (telegram, discord..) opens right where I told it to be, I use KDE, I created a window rule for every program I routinely open and I just recorded the position I like them in and they open exactly there. I do have 2 monitors, I can give you more info on my setup if you'd like.
