Hmmm… 🤔
Sigh… c/linuxmemes continues to leak
Other cures include literally just restarting your PC once a month so it can install updates.
Or disabling the stupid power settings that mean a shutdown isn’t a shutdown, and turning your computer off when not in use
It’s hilarious that so many issues in Windows can be fixed with a restart but then they made it not actually restart when turned off and on again.
My understanding (unless they’ve changed it) was that a restart is a restart because software (either the OS or 3rd party software or both) may need the computer restarted to finish installing or updating stuff.
I’d heard that a shutdown wasn’t actually a shutdown, though.
I mean, I use Linux but I’ve used a lot of Windows in the past. I don’t find either of them particularly more stable than the other. I had blue screens a few years ago on my laptop and that turned out to be faulty RAM. I haven’t had a Windows-caused BSOD in years. And all this talk of Windows suddenly starting an update while I’m using it, I’ve literally never had that happen.
Not sure how you have avoided that one. It’s been a thing since windows 7
It’s windows. You’ll not have a choice in restarting at least once every couple of days.

Unfortunately as a linux user you may get stuck-on-post syndrome but there are widely available immunizations and treatments available.
NGL, some distros will give you the anxiety that the next update will brick your OS as well
Well I updated my computer and my audio stopped working; to the logs! Lol I love Linux, but find myself asking “what now?” much more frequently with it…
With windows it is more like “wtf is this new ad on my start menu?” Or “how can I opt out of all these features no one ever asked for?”
One time an update broke audio, and I spent like 15 minutes digging around in pipewire logs and weird config parameters before I realized that I was literally just muted lol. Pulseaudio has irrevocably conditioned me to assume that whenever there is no audio, it must be some obscure bizzare weird issue instead of something simple
btrfs subvolume snapshot / /snapshots/backup1 lol
Won’t save you from a bricked bootloader tho haha
Once I manually deleted a snapshot folder because I didn’t see it listed, and thought it was “orphaned” and just taking up space. :D
“SUDO THAT SUCKER!!” 👉
OS says “Okie dokie boss.”
Suddenly none of my commands are working.
Turns out I deleted the currently mounted active snapshot . Safe to say it was reinstall time.
Don’t go manually touching system files, folks. 😂
