Add option Disable default front page

You can disable the Frontpage view, is there anything else you need?

Thanks for reviving this issue. I have updated the Issue Summary, since your proposed solution results in an error message on the front page.

Adding Workaround https://www.drupal.org/project/empty_front_page → module in the Issue Summary.

Well of course the idea is to change the default frontpage as well, the setting is required for a reason. What would be the result of your proposed solution? What would display on the frontpage in that case?

The frontpage would then be empty. I personally use Blocks, they work well.

You can already implement what you're asking for though so I'm not sure we need this feature in core.

Oh yes, I agree -- it's very much possible, it just takes an effort, and I think it should be easier. There's a reason https://www.drupal.org/project/empty_front_page → exists ...

Also, new Drupal users can end up spending a long time understanding how it all works, and try many things and fail ... I think simply allowing to delete /node would be a very nice gesture to those new users, and all those who don't need it -- it would also be the easiest method, I believe. Alternatively, add a "Disable default front page" checkbox.

Though, it would be nice with data on how many think it's great, that setting a "Default front page" is required. I mean, if many, many users are doing their individual little workarounds, why make it mandatory in the first place?

So I don't see this as a feature, but an attempt to make Drupal easier to use, and more user friendly.
