I have a fedora workstation pac connected to the living room tv, running some server duties in the house and playing games over streaming and on the tv it is connected to.

I want to forbid reboot/shutdown from the UI. I want only sudo in the terminal to be able to do that.

I’m no certain of the best way to do that. I cant go just hiding the options on a per UI basis as I’ll be playing whack-a-mole until I’m dead. Instead, Id like things like plasma and steam to understand they aren’t permitted to make that request, but if they try anyway, the OS just ignores them.

    You’re barking up the wrong tree and fucking up your life by doing this.

    Split the streaming/gaming duty to a different device that can be operated in the way the user expects.

    Wherever you disconnect shutdown signals from will be relied upon by something down the road and you’ll end up with a weird messed up broken update when that happens.
