The problem, as always, is different use cases. We want to very strongly encourage people to create a user before logging in on KDE installs, as we really don't want people using KDE as root. But for a small headless install, someone might want to operate as root without a user account. Workstation has sorted this out by disabling user/root spokes in the installer entirely and having its own g-i-s which requires creation of an admin user, but we don't have anything like that in place for KDE currently. So we have to try and manage both KDE and e.g. a minimal or Server install as best we can, using essentially the same workflows. If someone wants to do some customization for KDE, of course, that could help. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx https://www.happyassassin.net -- _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel mailing list -- anaconda-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to anaconda-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/anaconda-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
