The KDE desktop Plasma is one of the best Desktop Environments released for Linux distributions. It is elegant, and very adaptable to your personal needs. However this DE comes with some behaviors that are not ergonomic at all.
For example, KDE Plasma DE does not remember window locations for your apps. Start an application or open a window and always open the upper left corner of your screen.
Below we will see how you can fix the issue, to achieve a functionality that simply exists in all the others desktop Environments. Your apps will open in the size and position you want, regardless of whether you've chosen to save the session.
This change can now be applied per application and not for all windows. Start a program that you want to save its location, e.g. a browser that does not cover the entire width of the desktop, is not centered,
Turn right click at line window title, select More actions – Application or window specific settings...
It will open a separate window with a warning and a settings window:
In the second image (the settings window you will see that there are four different tabs. We will use the second one which states Size & Position.
We will tease them two first settings and from the drop-down box, change Do Not Affect to Remember. Click the OK button. From now on, the specific program or window will start exactly where you specified, with the dimensions you selected.
