Is there though?

That's just shit design. Even on keyboards with Power button I've seen, they're usually distinctly shaped and coloured.

Yeah I love these fuckin laptops that put the power button somewhere random in the middle of the keyboard where you might accidentally press.

I can’t imagine what goes through the mind of the genius who came up with this shit. Im guessing it was some guy who worked his way up to middle management in a Chinese manufacturing sweatshop, and then managed to sell clients on the idea that they could cut costs because he knew a quick hack to run the wires to the power supply.

On KDE Plasma, pressing the power button by default shows an array of buttons for lock, sleep, hibernate, power off, and restart! Very neat I think. You can change this of course, and you can even configure it so that the behaviour changes depending on if you are plugged in, on battery, or in low power mode! I think that is really cool :0

Windows (10 and 11 at the very least) shutdowns upon pressing it

[-] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

Windows is a bit weird sometimes. On most Linux DEs there is this functionality, and I believe MacOS also has something similar.

I do know that Windows lets you change whether the power button shuts down or makes your screen go to sleep (which doesn't kill all your programs), so you could do that.

On a related note, I hate that you need to click the small button in the start menu to restart on Windows. On Linux, typing "restart" in the search field pops up the option, making it super quick for troubleshooting and that sort. One more reason why Linux is superior to Windows I guess!
