Graphical Tool for User Management?
(Current environment: Kernel: 4.18.14-arch1-1-ARCH x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.12.4)
"Make Linux simple"
Maybe it is just me but I seem to miss a graphical tool to perform user management.
Howto about adding a user using CLI is good enough for time being but if you want to make it really simple a GUI tool should not be forgotten.
Keep up the good work!

Yes it does not seem to come with xfce
Any suggestions there...
It should be desktop independent.
Personally I will not use it since I am guessing we are mostly the only user on any given computer.

Learn, have fun and enjoy.

Re: Graphical Tool for User Management?
True for at least us nerds but you want to provide another option for replacing Windows as a desktop right?
In addition I have to admit that this is only the second time I used Xfce and I cannot recall having a Graphical user management tool at Xfce before.
So I also must turn to Google and start my search from there.
According: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=8296 they use gnome-system-tools for that matter as there seems not to be a graphical tool yet from Xfce.
Was not able to locate gnome-system-tools at the package manager.
Is that a good enough suggestion?

Followup to my last reply.
In one forum they mentioning to use mate-system-tools as that package should have less dependencies than gnome-system-tools.
