Does it require to be enabled at compilation, or it can be toggled at any time?

Is it about restoring window position and size?

Does it also restore the content of unsaved files of the application? If not, I’ll prefer systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for. Gnome had it in the past, MacOS has it, but I don’t see what the use case is.

That’s up to the application.

If not, I’ll prefer systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for.

I believe this is for storing the position of specific windows, for multi-window applications (e.g. GIMP’s multi-window mode). So hibernation is very unrelated.

Good but sad it’s disabled by default for now.

Gnome like to get things perfect before they make it default. It’s what makes Gnome pretty stable, even if it does mean power users have to type in a command to expose the setting in the meantime.

The wait can be frustrating though.

I respect the gnome team for not wanting to create instability or confusion. KDE could learn a thing or two

Well GNOME does create instability and confusion too.

How so? There are lots of valid complains about gnome but stability is not one of them. They are very careful about the stuff they ship by default.

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.
