Bug ID: 450278
Summary: Some behavior options are unnecessarily technical for
Plasma
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_sddm
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: guimarcalsi...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
This bug is part of an ongoing effort to rethink the options available in
System Settings. The end goal is to consolidate some obscure options to make
Plasma feel simpler to use and improve the user experience. I was advised to
make individual bug reports with my suggestions. More details with all the
suggestions and talking points can be seen in this shared document:

---------------------
Startup and Shutdown > Behavior – Anything below “Log in again immediately
after logging off”** - Those are very technical options. They shouldn’t be
exposed to users graphically (since users that use graphical tools are probably
less experienced and shouldn’t have options available that are aimed at system
administrators). Advanced users that know what they’re doing most likely know
how to change those values somewhere else. Plasma is aimed at users of all
knowledge levels and having very technical options exposed in easy-to-access
places can represent a risk of making it feel complicated or even of allowing
the user to break their system.
I propose removing the options min/max user UID and halt/reboot command.
