    Isn't it crazy that you need a physical workaround for your operating system?

    To to honest my Fedora install used to hang indefinitely 20% of the time I tried to shut it down. So I also became well acquainted with that solution

    It is a last ditch effort in Linux instead of the first reaction for me in Windows.

    Maybe I don't just don't respect Windows. It probably goes back to things like it deciding to do an unskippable update right before I did a presentation or trying to find some obscure .dll file for hours trying to make a program work.

    I get your point though.

    Fair enough considering Windows also doesn't respect you. My worst experiences were the times I accidentally clicked on "update and restart" so I just had to wait there after a long night of getting a presentation or homework done. That happened a few too many times in high school.

    But I barely handle updates myself these days. I have set it to automatically* apply them live for my year on Silverblue. I have something similar for my phone updating every weekend at night considering I sleep in anyway. This post did remind me how nice it is to not have to worry (or even think) about updates.

    *I do manually update between major Fedora releases. But those happen twice per year so yeah.

    Sure I guess. There's plenty of things better about Linux so why lie? This meme misses the mark is all I'm saying.
