Why do my programs never launch in the full window? (lemmy.nz)

Hey guys

As you can see in the picture, I have the problem that my programs always open in half size windows.

Obviously I'm just trying to improve my quality of life, but is it possible to change this setting? I would prefer the programs to start in full screen.

You could use something like Devilspie2 to set the size/position of windows when they open.

Assuming you are using the “default” Cinnamon desktop, you could use the keyboard shortcut to maximize the window, which should be Alt + F10.

Maybe someone else will know of a native setting but unfortunately I am not aware of one.
