Note that I'm not even asking for full session restore, which would mean each app restoring its own state (open files, contents of the clipboard, current directory etc.). That clearly would require cooperation from the app itself, which couldn't be guaranteed in every case. I'd be happy just to have the windows and desktops restored correctly, and the current directory if it's still accessible. If other systems can do this, Linux should also be able to. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
