If you ever tried the infamous "Update and shut down" option in any Windows build, it often leads to a reboot instead to an actual shutdown. Now, Microsoft has finally fixed this issue starting with Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.7019 (or 26100.7019 on 24H2). According to the Windows Latest, Microsoft has shipped this broken functionality way back with Windows 10, and has never fixed it since. However, the Windows teams working behind the update have finally managed to ship a working solution with a note stating in Windows 11 experiences that the new build: "Addressed underlying issue which can cause "Update and shutdown" to not actually shut down your PC after updating."

Great. Now can we have the option for a vertical task bar back?

    My first experience with kde was back in 2012 or so (plasma 4?) and at that moment it felt so advanced compared to win 7 or vista that going back to windows was painful.

    I don't think I'm using any really fancy KDE features I just like that I can bodge together whatever I want it to look like... which is basically windows with re-orderable applications, shoving most things I have in the background into the system tray, and jerking off furiously that I don't have to touch my phone because of KDE connect, but I think you can install it on non KDE systems, since most of the apps that start with K in package managers has some KDE affiliation, but run on any linux system regardless of KDE Plasma graphical shell or any alternative like GNOME or MATE

    Just for the sake of the anecdote, I just discovered that in KDE Plasma, you can put a taskbar anywhere you like, including vertically, resize it, and even rotate it at an arbitrary angle! it's pretty much useless... but you can

    It baffles me how few people know that they can just replace the Explorer shell.

    How about today's, random complete freeze. Had to hard reboot then spend 30 minutes watching it trying to "fix the issue". It then failed to find anything. So I had to force it to reboot to windows. Then it worked fine the rest of the day.

    While it was down, I was working on my 11 year old, budget laptop running Mint.

    The other day my windows 11 computer booted and was unable to find the sound driver. I hadn't done anything to it, it just randomly decided it couldn't find the driver for some reason, after restart it was fine, but what the hell.
