i want to useradd a user that doesn't show up in the login window, is using the -r (system user) flag a good idea for that? is there another option that i can't find?

Depending on which display manager you use you could always just use a theme that requires typing a username rather than selecting from a list. I know there are a few SDDM themes like that.
