Not the most elegant solution but you can always just install nautilus. Nothing is keeping you from using apps from both DEs except a little extra work getting the theme set
I’ve not really used samba in dolphin as I find it more reliable to just have systemd handle automounting all filesystems as it allows other programs to access the locations
I’ve not noticed any performance issues using it this way, tho I only use a few shares on my local network
It’s called Compositor Hand-offs, it’s coming in the future and is Wayland only.
It’s likely going to be in Plasma 6 come 2024.
Restoring application state isn’t the only thing it does either. It also allow for graceful crash recovery, true-full-poweroff hibernation and hot swiping supported compositors.
What you are basically finding out here is that most gui applications are written expecting only one user to be active and that weird things can/will start happening as a result.
Multi-user Gui was a bit of a momentum 20 years ago, but it’s not really found a real use, so no one bothers making it work well.
However, we have hypervisors and containerized operating systems now, so if you really wanted to do this I would look into setting up an os for a project in a container, if you can get graphical applications going (you can, it’s a hassle but you can) then you’ve a fully self contained system dedicated to that one thing.
Friends and family have several EcoTanks in use. Works great in Linux Mint, immediately detected. Printing and scanning from the network works without any problems so far.

I have one and it mostly works fine out of the box. It’s been a while since I set it up but I think I used the Linux CUPS driver. I had one time where it printed raw postscript but I haven’t had that happen since.
I don’t recomend Ultrawide Displays for gaming on linux. Get it and you,LL SUFFER (spoky voice)… The EDID of my UW display (predator) is horrible … like… uw 1440p or 768p and nothing in between…
Tbh theres have been a couple of years since the last time I tried and people says that gamescope does the trick but I didn’t tried… but believe me that It was a real pain in the passt to avoid res stretching.
Doing this in reverse all the time. Stretching games on my triple head setup to full size. It’s the same principle. If the game doesn’t offer it kill it with gamescope, Wine virtual desktop or if nothing helps a completely virtual display that overlays your current:
