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.

Using newest GNOME

I want windows of newly opened programs to either go to to to the half left, or half right of the screen when opened, instead of opening in a random place/middle of the screen not maximized

is it possible ?

Well I don’t think the philosophy of Gnome is to really have a lot of different windows in the same workspace.

The idea would be to move them to a different workspace so that you can really focus on what you’re doing.

That being said, if you have a big screen, I’d understand why you want to do that.

Yeah I use workspaces too, it's just that each of them have 2 windows placed besides each other as if each were a "normal sized" display
