Bug Description
I always thought that GUI (graphical user interface) based user and group management tools are basics of a GUI based desktop operating system, and should be included in almost every desktop operating system without requiring additional installation. Am I right?
But, after I did a clean install of Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS, I found that there is no GUI based users and groups management tool available for me to create users. I found that I need to install a package named "gnome-
I am sorry to say, I feel that this is unbelievable.
Lets assume, a normal non-technical computer user, with no knowledge of terminal commands, want to create user accounts for his/her family members, found no GUI tools to manage users, how will he/she feels?
I hope that the developers of Ubuntu MATE will look into this issue, and include GUI based users and groups management tools in default installation of Ubuntu MATE.
This incredible unfriendliness lasts in gnome based distros more than a decade. No wonder linux gnome desktop distros had no wide success among people. We live in times where the most scarce resource is time. And this is an example how to steal it from users and reason why they turn back on linux distros.
