You'll need to shutdown from within Plasma if you want it to be able to save state before it exits. You could create an alias for the long-winded command to shut down Plasma if you still want to use the command line: https://superuser.com/questions/395820/how-to-properly-end-a-kde-session-from-shell-without-root-privileges --000000000000875468059df52796 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Generally I do a #dnf update followed by a #shutdown -r = now.

If you shutdown from the command line KDE Plasma gets killed be= fore it has a chance to save anything. You'll need to shutdown from wit= hin Plasma if you want it to be able to save state before it exits.

You could create an alias for t= he long-winded command to shut down Plasma if you still want to use the com= mand line:
