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 read the blog post and am still confused as to what this is. It's something I never used in X11 (if X11 supported it), therefore it's not possible for me to miss it.

Is this the "restart all applications you were running when you restart your computer" feature? Was it broken in Wayland? If so, why? I thought the desktop environment would take care of starting the processes, placing the windows, and so on.

Not entirely sure what the before and after of this are. The blog post and article are written as if people know what this feature is.

Apps can still start at the current state. But apps remembering where it was or what page it was and its window positioning does not get remembered. I guess that's changing

Interesting. But what's the Wayland protocol have to do with it? Where does that come in?

Atleast the window positioning and stuff might have to do with wayland, i don't know the rest of the story
