I have installed Ubuntu with the Mate desktop, decided that I don't really like Mate, and now use KDE.
Is there a way for it to be configured to power down without confirmation when I logout? It's a nuisance currently, with 5 mouse clicks to get the job done.
The K button's Leave only offers Sleep in the System section.
General
Confirm logout
Offer shutdown options
Default Leave Option
End current session
* Turn off computer
Restart computer
On login
Restore previous session
Restore manually saved session
* Start with an empty session
Applications to be excluded from sessions
<empty>
Since "Offer shutdown options" is not ticked, the "Default leave options" section is greyed.
I ticked "Offer shutdown options", selected "Turn off computer", and then unticked "Offer shutdown options."
"Turn off computer" remained selected, but it's being ignored.
If it's a home computer, there's little or no risk. Many distros (like Mint or SalixOS, two that I know of) allow user to shutdown or reboot from the menu.
