    I want my power button to cut off the power instantly. I want my log off button to be instant. Add any delay and I start pulling cables!!!

    I got to go, lock this computer, so I can do a thing! Oh shit, its not locking… fuck… Security says I can’t leave a unlocked console… POWER!

    Adding needless friction is terrible! Don’t do it.

      At work, when I did desktop support, the number of people who would just hit their power bar when they left every day…

      Is that bad for the computer? Because I didn’t even think about this in a corporate environment until your comment. All our employees would be pulling cords or batteries, they all march out at exactly 430.

        any unwritten data would be lost, perhaps some file system updates get out of sync, but it shouldn’t be a big problem.

      Win+L to immediately lock a windows machine. You can get the logout dialogue with alt+F4

        KDE Plasma uses largely all the same shortcuts as windows. The most important ones in my opinion being super+arrow keys to move and tile windows.
