Hi everyone!

I’m a 90% satisfied Gnome user only looking for more customization possibilities.

I had tried KDE on a VM, but, since I have a Steam Deck (Steam OS), I thought I should try to fully make it usable as a computer in case I’d need it.

I kind of managed to recreate the Gnome workflow where you switch between workspaces.

I’ve also set up kwin rules telling, for instance, Firefox to open on workspace No 2 on startup.

I don’t know why, but that doesn’t work for 2 of my main applications.

I use Evolution mail and it always starts on the wrong workspace. Same for OnlyOffice, but for this one I can’t even create a kwin rule as I don’t have that option while right clicking on the far right of the app. They’re bot installed as Flatpaks.

I wanted to take a screenshot of the issue, but Spectacle doesn’t allow me to take a screenshot when the right click menu is open…

Also, Evolution can’t seem to remember my passwords despite allowing them to be saved in the keyring. Since I have around 10 calendars, it means entering 10 passwords at startup…

Suffice to say that my experience with KDE isn’t great so far even if I’d really want to try it a bit more…

Does anyone knows how to solve these issues?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: In the end, using alt+F3 did the trick in order to apply window rules to OnlyOffice (but not to Evolution) and I switched to Thunderbird for my KDE install in order to avoid the keyring issue

    We’re basically already there. KDE has already moved to the secret service standard that is used by gnome keyring. The real issue in my experience has been applications hard coding a dependency on gnome-keyring and not secret service. Some applications such as mailpring have fixed that hard coded issue, but it is still an issue in other applications.
