I see for #KDE#Plasma 6.4.3 using Wayland that #FreeBSD 14.3 automatically enables Shut Down and Restart buttons without needing to edit a text file, and user can enable auto login without editing a text file, however desktop crashes within 10 minutes and only have an unresponsive blank screen, requiring either Alt + F2 for command login to reboot or SSH in to reboot

Using xorg at login Plasma desktop is fully stable, but have to edit a text file to have Restart and Shut Down buttons in the menu and edit a file to enable auto login #plasma6
