From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

System Settings’ Background Services page is no longer actually visible in System Settings by default; everything here is an implementation detail

Sooo... will Plasma convert all these services to systemd services that can actually be disabled in a normal way?

That settings page was always only semi useful as the most important ones were missing. But disabling stuff like Orca, KDEConnect, accessibility, legacy adapters etc. should be possible.

This doesnt work currently as KDE has multiple mechanisms to launch these (and maybe I dont really know how to do systemd stuff)

you can still get to it by searching for it in KRunner

Yes but normally this is a first step in removing it

You can still do it as a first step.

Since the menu is usually only accessed extremely rarely, it is fine having a slightly more inconvenient way to reach it.
