It is a shame that this request is closed so fast. Originally this was not
reported against the KCM-component and it was NOT about the option not
appearing their. This was a side topic. My request was about having this on the
logout screen. I understand Nates reasoning that this should not appear so
prominent because it is rarely used. But you KDE guys continuously redesign
things and find clever solutions. So it could be on the logout screen, but less
prominent. Why: Amount of clicks: Opening systemsettings to get there is
annoying. As someone who know a little more about computers I get frequently
asked for support and if I am not present directing people through their system
to fix problem. So telling to shutdown and then pick Boot to UEFI or boot to
another kernel would be much, much easier to understand. I guess I am not the
only Linux/KDE friend who has installed the system for others and supports them
from time to time.
