A specific place? Where? Australia? Europe? or are we talking more specific? like Milano? Genevra?

Having things run at start up is easy just write a unit file and enable it wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Writing_unit_files, as for a certain position on the screen, you need to give us more information. What "programs" are you running, where on the screen? Why do they need to be in a specific location?

Running Visual studio Code on second desktop. Running a terminator terminal on desktop 1 and 2. I like to have these things start instantly where I want them.

Write a script that opens each process in the background, and you will likely want to use theDISPLAYenvironment variable
