    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.
  • What do you love about the COSMIC desktop environment?

    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.
