Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't want features, I want the session restoration in Wayland to work properly 😭

Me too, there are a lot of bug fixes here though. Anyways, has that ever worked for anyone?

What actually is not working?

Bringing up all the stuff you had open the next time you log in.
Edit: it's the manual session save feature that's broken: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436318

It does open all apps for me. But probably not in the previous state. But idk if that's actually possible?

How did you do it? For example if I keep some apps open and reboot it should reopen them at startup, right? I tried that and it didn't work, but maybe I configured something wrong

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nah there is a save session button. You can save a session when certain apps are open, then on login thoose apps will open

Oh ok, gotta try that, but does that mean that this only works while maintaining the PC on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

No it works always. It also does multiple times for me(opens thoose apps again on each login)

it was this one: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436318
I had it backwards, it's the manual session save/restore that does not work.
It looks like it's waiting for an internal feature, and that the current (working) auto save/restore feature is a placeholder hack and will also be replaced by said feature.

Good to know it is possible to open the apps in previous state.I don't use save session that often, but it does "launch" apps
