Opera always opens centered on desktop in Ubuntu

Why is it doing this? It's so stupid and annoying that I need to maximize it every single time after opening it. Running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully updated.

Why was this moved to General? It's Ubuntu/Linux specific issue. I don't have this issue with Opera on Windows. ?!

@rejzor it's a general issue in Opera, the OS isn't important.

@pilis00 It's not on Windows where it always opens maximized. It's just in Ubuntu where it does this and I remember it doing the same in Manjaro).

Also, if it's such general issue, why the frick it wasn't fixed yet? I've had this issue YEARS ago at this point.

Was it reported here on the forum?
Did you report it to a developer?

@pilis00 I can't find my post anymore as I know I was asking about it. Could be I was asking in Ubuntu/Manjaro forums about it.

There is a post about it from 2017 here:
https://forums.opera.com/topic/23065/opera-48-0-will-not-open-in-maximized-window?_=1745331241823

There are many others from 2022 and 2023 too. Frankly, I don't want to fiddle with it, I just want to install Opera and use it. All browsers start maximized, just not Opera for whatever reason.

@rejzor Report it again to a forum, go on the stable Opera topics and tell them there.

@pilis00 Or mods move it where I posted it instead of moving it into General section for some stupid reason...
