My Windows is more like "I am scheduling the restart. Pray I don't schedule it any sooner."
Mine will do the restart and boot into Linux.
Windows Updates are always like that. Halfway through it's got to restart, bootloader picks Linux, Windows doesn't get to finish the other half of its update til the next time it's chosen.
Is Linux higher in your boot priority?
Linux is higher in any priority.
Always has been.
When I had a dualboot, that's how I ordered it.
You can configure Grub to boot into whichever entry you last selected. Makes rebooting much more convenient
I like how you censored systemd
People need to learn that it's ok to say systemd on the Internet and stop self censoring
Let's not get carried away. Fuck and shit are ok, but I draw the line at s*****d
~~init.d~~ straight to jail
Yes, let's keep this community family friendly. I could do without such obscenities.
This is just not true.
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?
Both Windows and Linux have ways to gracefully ask a program to close and to force close it. Not being able to select the correct one on either system is a skill issue.
I am not sure how Windows handles processes, but on Linux you have different signals. SIGKILL (9) generally kills the process immediately, but there are other signals like SIGTERM (the default signal, 1) which asks process to gracefully quit, and many others.
If you want to know more, check the signal(7) man page or this Wikipedia page.
And when chrome freezes rest of the desktop goes gray and everyrhing else freezes too including the task manager.
I am one of lucky 10 000 Thanks
same here!

Windows just randomly installing updates only when I'm working on something with a customer.
one of the reasons I'm moving away. pisses me off so much at work, I don't even want it at home
Managed to wreck my NVMe drive with an unsafe shutdown on linux the other week, gave it a few hours for the self check, booted back into the distro and has been running fine ever since.
Pretty sure windows would've just set the computer on fire at this point.
Linux is so strong I turn it off from the power button. Saving 5 seconds.
Iโm a little spoiled by this. I did it on Windows and had to rebuild the boot partition.
That's weak. I always pull on the power cord until the plug comes out. That shuts it down in a second flat.
That random systemd service waiting 1.5 minutes.
You all not suspend/hibernate?
I do yes | sudo pacman -Syu && sudo poweroff
(Update and poweroff)
Fuck that noise sudo shutdown 0 turn off NOW bitch!
I prefer shutdown now gives me a feeling of power
"&&" will only run shutdown if the update runs correctly.
I do ";" to definitely run the shutdown after the update process exits. (Don't want to keep the system running if nothing is happening any more.)

If you're able to successfully boot the machine afterwards is not your concern?
what's fun in a successfully booting system? we are arch users for a reason!
You don't need sudo to run poweroff on Arch, provided there's no other users logged into the system
Assuming you enter your password upon running sudo, isn't there the risk of sudo's privilege timing out if pacman takes too long to complete? I believe I tried something similar, intending to run a one-liner I could start then walk away from. However, I ended up returning to see the system not rebooted hours later.
Or is yes somehow supposed to take care of this? Sorry, newish Debian user here who hasn't ventured outside the distribution much.
It's a screenshot of a screenshot in a video? What's that shield?
ya'll aint just pulling out the power plug?
I flip the breakers so I can keep the power plug connected
I flip the breaker whenever it's time to shut down.
On my work PC I disabled automatic restarts and I'll just hibernate it for weeks at a time, keeping my work stuff open. Convenient, and I can install updates when I choose to.
goddamn generation loss-ass meme.
me turning off the power supply: (i didn't have anything open so hopefully it's fine...)
