Bug ID: 399961
Summary: Suggestion on changing the default Desktop Session
options
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.13.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: tyson...@mail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Right now the Desktop Session page's default settings are:
General:
[X] Confirm logout
[X] Offer shutdown options
Default Leave Option:
[X] End current session
[ ] Turn off computer
[ ] Restart computer
On Login:
[X] Restore previous session
[ ] Restore manually saved session
[ ] Start with an empty session
The page can be found at:
>> System Settings >> Workspace (section) >> Startup and Shutdown >> Left
>> column >> Desktop Session >>
SUGGESTION
I suggest we change the default settings to:
General:
[ ] Confirm logout
[X] Offer shutdown options
Reason: I think for a logout action there are way too many steps. It is already
super safe without the extra confirmation. Windows 10, macOS and GNOME are all
very straight forward when it comes to logout. I suggest we streamline the user
experience here.
Default Leave Option:
[ ] End current session
[X] Turn off computer
[ ] Restart computer
Reason: Most users want to turn off the computer when they leave. It makes it
easier to find what they want in the launcher too, because of this arrangement.
On Login:
[ ] Restore previous session
[ ] Restore manually saved session
[X] Start with an empty session
Reason: Most users want to start a computer with a NEW, CLEAN session.
Restoring the previous session introduces a lot of intricacies and gives a
feeling of an OLD, UNCLEAN, UNSAFE session is being loaded.
