I’m really excited about how great KDE has become in recent years. It was getting scary back when KDE4 had lots of problems and gnome3 was devoid of all functionality. Nowadays KDE makes the Linux desktop truly a pleasure to use.
KDE4 was deprecated a decade ago now. It’s hard to believe.
I’ve wanted this for a while; when I’m done with my computer, I don’t mind it staying on a bit longer to do this, rather than when I next turn it on when I (presumably) want to do something. Great add!
You know what else would be awesome? “Update, reboot, and (just this once) automatically login”
It would be super useful for when I’m alone at home working but want to do updates over my lunch break.
I think an issue is, this sets up your computer to have a way to bypass putting your password in on boot. If you don’t care about security too much and don’t have things like secure boot and encryption, then that’s bypassable anyways… But otherwise, I’d be concerned about introducing systems that specifically bypass security.
As long as you have to put in your password when you enable this I feel like it’s fine. There’s plenty of times, especially on Linux, where the user has to bypass security limitations to do this (sudo being the most obvious example)
Hardly that often there is a kernell update that require a reboot
I wonder how that will play together with Distros like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed where you basically do a whole OS upgrade and are not supposed to do “just” updates.
I hope we can easily supply our own script to run.
I’d imagine there would have to be script support, as KDE runs on many distros that all have very different update flows.
Kde is looking mighty good to try now, ive been kind of bored from gnome recently
I avoided it for a while because it felt so clunky, but it has really improved in the last decade.
same here! kde is one of the reasons im feeling like hopping. they really polished it a lot in areas where it was needed.
i just need a little free time, any day now.
omg ddcci :)
Nice, already wanted this
I can never tell if this KDE Stan is a joke or not.
I don’t know what the hell are you talking about
