I’ve just moved to linux so this might be a silly question. I’ve tried to look it up but can’t find anything.
I have 4 virtual desktops and browser windows, slack, vs code etc open on them. When i size a window one virtual desktop it resizes the window, that’s in the same position, on all the others. I don’t want it to do this. Is there a way to stop it please?
So just to give example if on one desktop i have two browser windows and they take up 50% / 50% . Then i go to another desktop and have maybe slack and vs code, and size it to 30% / 70%. When i go back to the two browsers desktop they are at 30% / 70%
i’m using 25.06 (ROME) Rolling with kernel 6.14.2 desktop
Hey! Welcome to OM! Hopefully you end up sticking around awhile!
I’ll admit, I have the same issue, but I hardly ever have multiple windows open and split on one screen (I use a dual monitor setup that helps out a lot). Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in with an answer, as I’m curious too.
Thanks mate. I like Mandriva very much. This is the only little thing that is annoying but its not a deal breaker for me. I have an ultra wide screen so i like to have it divided.
I can’t recommend anything specific for your circumstance.
If you are using Plasma desktop you can right click on the title bar of the window and look for the “Configure Special Window Settings” and “Configure Special Application Settings” and see if there are settings in those that accomplish what you want.
Also it matters what desktop you are using, Plasma6 is the default for ROME, and whether you are using X11 or Wayland, X11 is the default for OMLx currently. This may be a bug, sort of seems like it may be to me.
You can find some info about your system in SystemSettings>System>About this System:
Edit: To keep OMLx systems up to date from Konsole (terminal):
sudo dnf dsync --allowerasing --refresh
When you run sudo you will be asked for administrator or super user password that you set when you installed OMLx. sudo gives temporary admin privilages.
