    Maybe Another Window Session Manager will help. I like it for restoring my usual programs at startup.
  • Virtual framebuffer for single GPU passthrough
    1 project | /r/VFIO | 19 Feb 2023
    I've sorted it out - installed NoMachine on my VM and tried to connect to my host - it created it's own framebuffer and loaded all my programs (since I've started using this gnome extension https://github.com/nlpsuge/gnome-shell-extension-another-window-session-manager). I hope it would be useful for someone else.

    If you're not tiling, this shell extension works well for savings window arrangements to be restored on future boots. I think they've also added an auto saving feature so you can recover from crashes more easily as well. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4709/another-window-session-manager/. There is a bug in the latest release with a workaround posted here: https://github.com/nlpsuge/gnome-shell-extension-another-window-session-manager/issues/69#issuecomment-1423117200.

    Of course, workflow is subjective and should be as it's whatever best suits the user and their needs. What you describe is not even a workflow I could conceive of, not to say it doesn't serve you nicely. For me I only launch applications from the above mentioned launcher by typing the name or the start of the name. I have some custom desktop files that the launcher picks up as well for launching specific terminal sessions for example. From already running apps, I only ever navigate to them via the ctrl+tab and alt+tab hotkeys (for switching between apps and between windows of the current app respectively). NOTE: I don't tile, but I arrange my windows in a combination of "stacks" (multiple browser windows, multiple text editor windows) and side-by-side arrangement (Chat client, email inbox, and browser window all visible). Also worth mentioning, I use this window session manager to one-click restore these window arrangements that I've previously saved: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4709/another-window-session-manager/

    I use this gnome extension for launching specific applications with windows arranged how I like them. There are a couple of similar apps that work pretty well too.
