Either way works just fine.
Another thing that I found can be "helpful" with KDE is to edit the
/etc/systemd/logind.conf to have one line read
KillUserProcesses=yes
I've done this for sometime now. I don't know, and really don't care to find
out, it the situation exists that prompted
me to do that. But, what was happening is that when one logged out from the Plasma
session some processes would
remain running in the background. I think the intention what that if the same user logged
in again those processes
could be reclaimed to speed up the login. I found that after a time there were a large
number of "orphaned" processes.
I also had issue with Plasma reconnecting to pulseaudio. I also think that not killing
processes was part of the "switch user"
feature which has been disabled by default and which I never really tried using.
Killing the user processes on logout fixed things for me.
