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.

I had a similar workflow with maximized screens residing on different workspaces. KDE Plasma also have window rules which you can set on a per-program/application or a per-window basis (for example, main window for a program goes fullscreen into one monitor, in a workspace you specify, and the tools window opens in a different monitor in the same workspace you specify).
Is it something enabled by default or are you forced to go through a lot of customization to arrive to this result?
KDE has sane defaults when it comes to windows: it opens a window at cursor position and whether or not it's fullscreen or maximized depends on what it is when you last closed the window.
So for example, if the LibreOffice Calc is maximized when I last closed it, the next time I use it, it'd be maximized.
Window rules, however, can be as fairly simple or as complicated as you want it to be.
For example, this is my settings for discord:
I set it to open horizontally and vertically maximized, on any virtual desktop in the ‘Background’ activity (not really something most KDE Plasma users make use of, but I do).
Thanks for the info 👍
