KDE - changing the way you use Qubes

How the DE that is incapable of remembering the window positions of daily-used applications and with no ability to fix these positions can be good for anything?

Autostart program in specific workspace

In dom0: sudo qubes-dom0-update devilspie2 add devilspie2 under “Application Autostart | Session and Startup” in the XFCE Settings app put the .lua file under ~/.config/devilspie2 make sure the .lua file contains the code you need, what I posted was just an example how to make sure a window of a specific qube shows on a specific workspace You would create a .desktop file for it and locate it under ~/.config/autostart in that qube.

Also, I am using suspend, which remembers much more than that. Works flawlessly.

How the DE with such a lack of basic settings and options, with no proper search in settings manager

I never needed a “proper” search in settings. There are not so many settings and I do not do so much customization anyway. What are you customizing?

@balko

nor in start menu

Try Alt+F3. Using it many times a day and can’t imagine anything more convenient (not even the new Qubes menu).

@balko

nor anywhere else

Where?

@balko

ugly look

Depends on your own perception of beauty I guess

@balko

but scares away a lot of new potential users of Qubes OS

Do you have examples? Default KDE would make Qubes ISO too large, which is already not small and lacks other, more important things.
