Atychia

This is a POC (proof of concept/piece of crap).

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:tduck:filotimolinux/filotimo-atychia

A utility akin to Ctrl-Alt-Delete on Windows that allows a user to recover from a broken session, rather than being forced to a TTY. This automatically registers a shortcut with KDE, and is designed for use with KDE. Registers Meta+Ctrl+Alt+Del by default. A shortcut is also registered to relaunch Plasmashell - Meta+Ctrl+Shift+B.

Requires a system user atychia (UID below 1000, and no home dir) which is in the atychia and video group. You can make this with sudo useradd -r atychia && sudo usermod -a -G video atychia. Requires an up to date version of KDE Frameworks 6, Qt 6, systemd, logind, and Polkit. Also requires cage, the Wayland kiosk compositor, to be installed.

sudo ninja-build -C . install
