REISUB for a cleaner shutdown sequence syncing disks and the like. I read the mnemonic "Raising Elephants Is Utterly Boring" once and I still remember it years later lol

I found out that if I press the power button it does nothing. If I press it for four seconds, it still does nothing. But if I press it for eight seconds...

I ran into a bug where if I shutdown my PC with anything running through Wine, it will hang at "a stop process" for wineserver, and even that shortcut would not work

That's the spirit!

"And I pull out my -9!"

What about orphaned children of zombie processes?

That Cannot Be Killed Which Is Already Dead.

At least those eat no resources besides taking up space in htop. And can be traced to the parent being weird.
Have you dealt with io-locked processes? Funny D-statuses spreading like a disease, anything that touches an infected process or resource also inherits it. Worst cases I have seen (nfs client kernel module not connecting a mountpoint properly) made every one of those fully resistant to -9.

Almost as if they are meant to be exaggerated and funny.

Been a while since I've seen a bluescreen period. 10 and 11, for all their faults, have been pretty stable on that front. Crowdstrike did spoil a very good run.

I don't see windows bluescreens because I don't use it. We are not the same. Only lame Windows nerds know the flaws in this meme ;)
