I recently installed Kubuntu 26.04 to test it out and consider migrating from 24.04.4.
This means it's my first time using KDE 6 and Wayland (in KDE6, I previously tried Wayland for a couple of months on another distro, and the result wasn't positive for me).
After resolving some issues that were new to me, I've reached a point where I don't know if the cause is Wayland, Plasma 6, or a combination of both.
I hope I'm explaining myself clearly: I'm one of those people who doesn't shut down their computer; I use `suspend-then-hibernate`. To my pleasant surprise, it worked from day one on 26.04 (it didn't on 24.04), but...like everyone else, I sometimes restart.
I've been doing this for years, and it's how I like it: when I restart, the applications I'd left open (I always leave applications open) reopen automatically, like Kate with open files, but... more importantly, different instances of the browser and other browsers I use with their respective tabs.
This worked perfectly in 24.04 and earlier versions. I'd restart my PC, and Kate, Dolphin, etc., would open automatically. Except for Firefox, the other browsers wouldn't open automatically, but the moment I opened the browser I'd left open, the same instances and windows would open.
(Firefox is the only one that does this by default). I forgot to mention, kWallet would open the moment I opened a browser or application that required kWallet.
On April 26th, this doesn't happen. I restart, and then the browser I had left open automatically opens (making kwallet the first thing I see). After entering my password, only one instance of the browser opens (with its corresponding tabs), but only one instance.
If I had four open before the restart, only one opens afterward.
I've tried everything I could find, configurations and everything, and nothing works. Every time I restart, only one browser instance opens, and for me, it's a loss of information. I'm someone who has several instances open, and each instance has its own tabs.
Please excuse me if I haven't explained myself well.
In another thread, I'll post why Kate, Dolphin, and kwallet open on the secondary monitor instead of the primary one immediately after restarting, but that will be for another thread.
Do you have any ideas? This is an important issue for me; I've been working like this for years, even on my company computer...
