Hello Neil,

Spot on, thanks. Two comments, 1 I should have remembered that one.
YW and why should you?  How often do you actually add new users?

2 Even then I would expect it to be installed automatically. Not so, I
had to install it myself. How crazy is that?
IDK how Mint handles installation of stuff, but with Debian it's
possible to install a minimal (say) KDE which misses out a lot of
stuff.  As KUser is one of the more "harmful" pieces of admin software,
it's possibly prudent not to install by default.

Obviously, opinions will differ.

I was always under the impression mint was a low footprint jobbie. Most users don’t need to create other users and there’s always the command line versions which WILL be there - see man adduser.
