That's already fixed by Bug 445444 in Plasma 5.23.4. The positioning issue is solved in Plasma 5.24 by setting the window positioning to "Centered" by default.

Stop re-opening the bug report. I already gave you information that: - The issue in Alacritty has already been fixed in the next KWin bugfix version - The issue with window positioning is intentional when you're using the Smart placement, and the default placement has already been changed to Centered in the next major KWin version.
