Alternatively, we could revisit making sd-log internal and perhaps turn it instead into a service qube such that it doesn't pollute the main menu tab.

Upon closer inspection, it looks like a file viewer is not relevant for an admin since there is no program to open the Log files by default. Perhaps the docs should explain, then how to reach said logs from the practical standpoint.

They could use less in a terminal, which is already installed. But I think we should also install a plain text editor like gnome-text-editor or whatever the XFCE version is if there really is no other editor installed.
