        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.

            I see, I thought is was meant for restoring programs after login. Thx, for the clarification.

      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

          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.

            Stability for the end user is very good (probably even one of the best and definitely many times better than KDE) but stability for developers is not good because things often change or get deprecated which breaks the apps and the extensions they make.
