Or rather: it used to work, but then just stopped.
I don’t know about desktop towers, for laptop it is always only one instance — my laptop display, monitor is dark before I hit enter
Interesting! On my laptop I also had two instances of SDDM.
same happens on KDE Plasma.
Not where I’m sitting. Tested via cat accidentally turning a monitor off. The browser window just stayed on that screen - the process was there, but the application was not available.
Huh, interesting. Because other than appearance and keyboard shortcuts, I haven’t configured anything to affect these behaviors.
I switched my laptop last year and installed Arch with Plasma 6 so it was working out of the box. My previous laptop had Arch with Plasma 5 and then updated to 6 and also had Gnome before that. So it could have been I might I have configured something over there to get those things working (I don’t remember doing that though) but the newer one had it by default.

Which is another aspect of the “Windows is more stabled” that I meant earlier.

The save window position thing was also working out of the box on mine. Only after it stopped I started looking into this and found that, apparently, it’s NOT a thing KDE/Wayland can do. I don’t know how it worked, but settings also show that feature doesn’t exist - if you go to System Settings → Window Management → Window Behaviour → Advanced → Window placement, I only have these options available: “Minimal Overlapping”, “Maximised”, “Random”, “Centred”, “In Top-Left Corner” or “Under Mouse”. There’s no “Remember” or “Restore previous” or anything like that.
Ah, OK, nice! I didn’t see it as it’s not available via mouse, but found all those threads saying it doesn’t exist. Good to know!
Doesn’t work on Garuda (Arch-based) with KDE.
