Hi!
With the new GNOME version it seems we're one more click away from
powering off one PC. And so it takes 4 clicks now. Is there a shorter
way to achieve the same thing?
Thank you.

Working from home I've been popping back and forth between my Fedora
desktop and my work laptop so I quite accidentally pressed "Cntl-Alt-Del"
on my F31 machine and got a prompt for shutdown or restart...
I assume that would still work in F32.

That works indeed! Thanks a lot.

And I even found an extension which brings the power off in the taskbar...
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1056/gnome-shutdown-button/
Thank you.

An alias to *systemctl poweroff?*

Touch the power button on the PC?
By default, that does a suspend.

That's...evil!
Why? I'm quite happy to have my computer/laptop only do a suspend when
I accidentally bump the power button. That's generally been the default
since computer motherboards started supporting ACPI, but you are free to
change it if you want. I'm curious what you think it should do. You
can still do a forced power off by holding the button, but it's the
motherboard handling that, not software.

Turn the computer off, of course, especially on a laptop. Having it
stay on after you've explicitly told it to turn off is just draining the
battery for no good reason.

Suspending is mostly off and is the state most laptop-using people would
want it to be in.

Oh, I was forgetting I'd customised that. Well, you can select your
preferred default action, THEN, you can use it as a one-touch clean
shutdown button. ;-)
Everyone else gets the click, click, click, are you sure? click...

Well I don't, but I use Xfce, not Gnome.
KDE here, but either way I just use Ctrl-Alt-Del, including for logging
off.

New subject: power off in less than 4 clicks?
There is an electrical device called a "Clapper." Simply plug the computer
power-cord into the Clapper.
Then you just clap your hands loudly twice, to power off.
