Since recent Ubuntu releases (I am currently using: 22.04) windows do not open in the center of the screen anymore. Instead they appear in the top right corner.

Fortunately there is very simple way to fix our problem. Configure GNOME to center new windows by executing the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter center-new-windows true
The change will take effect immediately. Open a new window and see the result:
