I don't understand why many desktop environments don't have a confirmation when you click one of those. Only ones I know that do it are GNOME and KDE
The confirmation is annoying for many GNU+Linux users. It's like asking are you sure you want to power off even though you had to use three or four keys or mouse clicks just to get to the poweroff menu.
It's not the total number of clicks that matters. It's the fact that several options (sleep, reboot, shut down) are the same final click and often a pixel or two away from each other.
That's why I use the terminal. On KDE it's even easier because I usually already have the terminal open in dolphin, so I just click into it and type "shut" and hit tab to complete
shutdown. No accidental reboots for me!omg shutdown user 💀 i thought everyone used poweroff
You thought wrong.
