The KDE Plasma desktop is one of the best Desktop Environments which circulate for Linux distributions. It is elegant, and very adaptable to your personal needs. However, this particular DE comes with some behaviors that are not at all ergonomic.
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.
The change at this time can be applied per application and not for all windows. Start one program that you want to save its location, e.g. a browser that doesn't span the full width of the desktop, isn't centered, etc.
Right click on line of title window, 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 tick the first two settings and from the drop-down box, change Do Not Affect to Remember. Click OK. From now on, the specific program or window will start exactly at the point you set, with the dimensions you chose.
