Is Linux higher in your boot priority?

You can configure Grub to boot into whichever entry you last selected. Makes rebooting much more convenient

you know you can make it so the last used OS gets booted right?

Same

Let's not get carried away. Fuck and shit are ok, but I draw the line at s*****d

system deez nuts

I was talking about a laptop with non-removable battery of course! I turn off my desktop via Zigbee remote hooked to Home Assistant which flips a Zigbee power switch that the AC power cord is hooked up to. Even faster death than going under the desk and unplugging the power cord. Even just unplugging itself takes time.

I prefer shutdown now gives me a feeling of power

I do "|" so it updates and shuts down at the same time

And it's a login shell.

The command after && runs only if the previous command returns non-error exit status (0), if pacman returns error the latter command won't be executed.

Additionally there's probably a configuration option for sudo for it to not time out, but it doesn't matter since you can just use systemctl reboot as a normal user to reboot your system (at least on Debian). If that's too long I recommend to add this to your .bashrc (if you use Bash): alias reb='systemctl reboot' or something similar.

You did the screenshot, or the video? Or both?

I take an axe to my power meter. I want everything shutdown.

Yeah and in linux when you say "kill this process" that process fucking dies. No 10 minutes of windows trying to negotiating with a crashed program to close. No I'm not angry about this happening to me at work today, why do you ask?

I am one of lucky 10 000 Thanks

i'll prob just start running pkill konsole before shutdown. was thinking of pkexec /sbin/shutdown -h now on a button, but it is kind of nice having some of my apps recover on reboot.

I bet there were interesting uses.

I won't say i've never shut down a long running process, but i've gotten a lot better at not running them adhoc in a terminal :)

Fair. I have two identical PCs. One is Win10, the other is Mint. Saves on figuring out dual-booting.

Fair enough. My experience on Mac has been pretty bad compared to Windows but to be honest there could be recency bias there. I use Mac every day for work and don't use Windows very often but at least Windows has never suddenly closed all my apps because it decided it was time to update.

Debian was a horrible choice actually, my laptop's WiFi card didn't have a kernel driver available at the time. Tracking down the correct one was an interesting journey by itself, getting it compiled and loaded was another. In my 20 years of Linux experience I've compiled my fair share of drivers from source, but this thing was a complete disaster and simply refused to work.

I even tried Ubuntu (still feel dirty about that one): also no support out of the box.

So I needed a rolling release, as kernel support would drop fairly soon. Being downstream from Arch I reckoned any major issues will be worked out in Manjaro before hitting their release.

So far I'm actually quite happy with it, my only gripe is the stability of Pamac. The frontend tends to hang during updates from time to time or require a manual database update to show available updates again.

And of course the issue with packages not building anymore, until you clear the build cache. The (bi-) weekly reboots because of kernel updates are annoying, but something I can live with.

Or Mint
