I really like workspaces in Linux DEs but here's an issue I have sometimes:

>open text editor or browser in ws1

>switch to ws2

>open text or html file

<it silently opens a tab in the window on ws1 and looks like nothing happened

<it moves the other windows from ws1 to ws2

<it kicks me back to ws1

This is kind of annoying; programs on separate workspaces should have their own processes. There shouldn't be across workspace communication. Is there a solution to this or am I just not understanding how it's supposed to work?

Lol are you confusing workspaces with sessions?

Install gentoo, switch sessions with ctrl-alt-f<x>

Also works on other distros but if you have a login manager it can be really slow for some reason.

Sessions take forever to switch though. For me the screen goes blank ~5 seconds when I switch. Plus opening a new session takes some time. It's not instant like workspaces.

i have those disabled because i have multiple screens. it sometimes puts popup windows on the wrong screen even then.. wrong as in its set to put new things on the screen where cursor is but they still go to the screen where it is not.

I think that depends on the window manager, or possibly on the flags set when creating the software.

>>1051698

As i said, install gentoo (or stop using a login/session manager or however those pieces of shit are called).

Just put 'startlxde' or whatever in your ~/.xinitrc and log in from terminal and the desktop environment starts automatically.

'startx' is another command, but you don't normally need that.

Idk why it works like that, the keyword seems to be "modesetting".

i use openbox. firefox or forks of it with the profile manager enabled is one thing that does it

Stop using braindead programs that use a single process for everything. Virtual memory prevents memory bloat across processes sharing an image, programs that do this are designed by retards. Either that or embrace tabs; chromeos is technically a linux distro.

Sounds annoying

It's not a problem on KDE

Your browser and your text editor probably have an argument to open links in new windows, on chromium and vivaldi it's `--new-window' iirc. If your wm doesn't suck it should pop up where you are.

I think you can pass that to your browser's .desktop file to open html links from every programs in a new browser window, I'm not sure I've never tried.
