Apologies for joining late, and perhaps you

you tried adding:

(push

to early-init? I put the first above line in
~/.emacs.d/early-init.el, and got an initially maximized
window under an odd Wayland+XWayland system as well as
Win 11. I don't have reasonable access to either a more
typical X11, Wayland, or macOS system right now.
The key is to put it in early-init.el, which is
consulted before emacs makes any windows in any window
system. Also worth noting: if you end up with
conflicting elisp settings and X resources, there are a
variety of ways for the latter to silently override the
former. You can check this with "xrdb -query" (you might
want to run this in a shell buffer or pipe it to a
pager).
Hope this helps,

Today is a good day. This is working like a charm! I tried
default-frame-alist, and initial-frame-alist, in upgraded
virtual machines right now:
* X11:
** Trisquel 11: Working
** Ubuntu MATE 22.04: Working
** Ubuntu 23.04: Working
* Wayland
** Ubuntu 22.04: Working
** Ubuntu 23.04: Working
This is the only solution so far that relies 100% on Emacs
Lisp. I think this can be documented in https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Fullscreen-mode-on-GNU-Linux.htm
Your solution effectively replaces my devilspie2 solution,
Chad. Thank you very, very much!
REQUEST: Can anyone please try Chad's solution and confirm
if it is working for
* Windows 11
It works in Windows 11 too. I just tested this in
Win11_22H2_EnglishInternational_x64v2.iso Home edition, upgraded.
"(push '(fullscreen . maximized) default-frame-alist)" is added
to .emacs.d/early-init.el it expanded the buffer equally quickly
like when this was added to a .emacs file (with 100 lines):
(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'toggle-frame-maximized)
(setq frame-resize-pixelwise t)
(set-frame-position nil 0 0)
(set-frame-size nil (display-pixel-width) (display-pixel-height) t)
For GNU/Linux adding this to .emacs (same file size as for the
Windows 11 experiment) caused a delay:
(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'toggle-frame-maximized)
So for Windows, there are two methods that can be used, but for
GNU/Linux only one solution works (adding "(push '(fullscreen .
maximized) default-frame-alist)" to .emacs.d/early-init.el)
With this said, the OS independent solution is to add "(push
'(fullscreen . maximized) default-frame-alist)"
to .emacs.d/early-init.el which can be documented in a new page, https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Fullscreen-mode.htm
* macOS
* BSD
If it is working for all of them, perhaps it's better to
add a basic section (e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Fullscreen-mode.htm)
and document that the solution:
* The only reason why I suggested the file name
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Fullscreen-mode-on-GNU-Linux.html,
or https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Fullscreen-mode,
is to make it consistent with
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Fullscreen-mode-on-MS_002dWindows.html
that is describing both fullscreen mode, but also maximized
mode.
* Perhaps it's better to use the file name
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Fullscreen-maximize-mode.html
to avoid confusion.
Eli said: "
"Fullscreen" is widely accepted terminology for what is discussed
there. Moreover, typing "i maximized RET" and "i fullscreen RET" in
both the ELisp and the Emacs user manuals brings you to the same text,
so we already have the two equivalent terms covered, and renaming the
node is not necessary IMO."
* Will quickly maximize emacs (like `emacs -mm`) by using
~/.emacs.d/early-init.el, to avoid the slightly distracting
visual effect of Emacs starting with its default frame size
and then growing to fullscreen. Adding "(add-to-list
'default-frame-alist '(fullscreen . maximized))" to the top of
~/.emacs will is cause the distracting visual effect if
additionally typically configurations are added in ~/.emacs.
* Only requires Emacs lisp and works out of the box.
* Will be executed automatically when emacs starts.
---------------8<-----------------------
Just to avoid confusion, this line was added by mistake:
* ~/.emacs.d/early-init.el prevents the the visually
distracting effect is (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
'(fullscreen . maximized))
Of course, I meant that it should be what Chad suggested:
(push '(fullscreen . maximized) default-frame-alist)
End, this line was added by mistake

* Works for GNU/Linux (X11, Wayland), [Windows], [macOS],
[BSD]
