Set default virtual desktop in KDE
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
How can I set default virtual desktop in KDE?
I have nine virtual desktops (3 rows and 3 columns), and KDE always starts with top-left virtual desktop, and I want to start with center one.
(I have Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 5.12 installed.)

It looks like this isn't natively supported through configuration in KDE/Plasma, however, a forum post here suggests a way to accomplish what you're looking for by using the wmctrl tool in an autostart script to programatically set the desired virtual desktop.
sudo apt-get install wmctrl- Run
wmctrl -dto list the available vistual desktops. In a 3x3 grid, the centre desktop is probably number 4 Create an autostart file in
~/.kde/share/autostart/setvd1.desktopwith this content:[Desktop Entry]
Exec=sleep 5; wmctrl -s 4
X-DBUS-StartupType=wait
Name=Set VD #1
Type=Service
X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
OnlyShowIn=KDE;
X-KDE-autostart-phase=1
