I would like to be able to reboot from GUI using kexec. kexec is a method to skip BIOS/UEFI during reboot, which can seriously speed up reboot (on my system, it about halves it, BIOS takes about 9 seconds and userspace as much). It works on systems using systemd-boot pretty much for free. Hibernate is already an action that fails on a lot of systems (it needs a swap file/partition larger than RAM) and yet is exposed. Codewise, I think it would need to be implemented from https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/libkworkspace/sessionmanagementbackend.cpp all the way up to https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/kicker/plugin/systementry.cpp or https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/kicker/plugin/systementry.cpp (plus a new icon would be handy) Is such a feature something that would be accepted?
Sounds cool. We could call it "fast boot" or something.
