We have gnome-software, which is better for end users in my opinion. It
shows actual apps instead of thousands of library packages that confuse new
users. I don't think we want to change this.

AFAIK users creating during the initial setup process (after you finish
with Anaconda) automatically get added to the wheel group which means they
get sudo access. I don't know about the user creation in Anaconda - but I
think that the user creation in Anaconda is not a thing we want in
Workstation at all.

We have a GUI for "user management" in settings. As for service management,
I don't see how this has to do anything with being a "desktop" product or
how it helps our target audience. Can you expand on why you want such GUI?
