Hi everyone,

I'm currently running Zorin OS 18 (Wayland) and I'm struggling with window placement across a dual-monitor setup.

I need my Terminal (and a few other apps) to always open and stay fixed on my secondary monitor. However, Wayland's default behavior seems to force new windows to open wherever the mouse pointer is currently active.

Here is what I’ve tried so far to fix this:

• Smart Auto Move (Extension): I tried setting an override rule for the Terminal, but it fails to restore on the second screen.
• Auto Move Windows (Extension): I tried assigning the Terminal to a specific workspace. However, since the secondary monitor doesn't seem to have its own independent workspace number, the extension just pushes the terminal to a hidden workspace on my primary monitor.

Does anyone know of a extension, script, or configuration that can actually force an application to open on a specific physical monitor / position?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
