Description Barry Scott 2024-11-16 09:47:12 UTC
Following the defaults for installing after the "Finalization" the action that is prominent is to "Exit to live desktop". If you read the faded text about it says to reboot your system.

I would have expected a button to "Restart your system" not a "exit to live desktop" button. 

Gnome hides restart from quick discovery. You have to know to click on the power icon then do it again. As a none Gnome user that took me a few moments for me to find.
But that menu does not have a "reboot" option, its called "Restart...".

As Gnome's jargon is to "restart" then that is what should be used in the guidance text as well.



Reproducible: Always

Thanks @Barry for reporting this. This is a valid request / feedback and indeed our designer has provided some mockups a few weeks back to include a Reboot button next to the 'Exit to live desktop' for convenience.

I will attach the mockups here, this feature will be soon implemented.   

Regarding the naming of the button, 'Reboot' vs 'Restart', the team agrees that 'Restart' indeed is better choice here.

Thanks for the feedback.

Is there a reason the attachment cannot be read by me?
Was your intention to get feedback on the mock up?

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.
