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

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.dstraight to jail
Yes, let’s keep this community family friendly. I could do without such obscenities.
system deez nuts
This is just not true.
- Linux does have a graceful process.
- Windows’s process is not graceful
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 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 likeSIGTERM(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.
Fuck me that’s ugly.
I had such an issue with Teams on Mac the other day. It had a phone call stuck running in the background, so I tried to Quit the app. The Quit Teams option just turned gray, and the laptop even refused to reboot.
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
Linux is so strong I turn it off from the power button. Saving 5 seconds.
I’m 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.
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.
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.
That random systemd service waiting 1.5 minutes.
You all not suspend/hibernate?
This is so fucking annoying. Whenever you try to run something not clearly meant for the desktop, there is like a 80/20 chance that you can completely forget suspend…
Yeah, I was thinking that. I wish we had a button (other than power off) to stop the service immediately.
Mine suspends immediately.
ya’ll aint just pulling out the power plug?
I flip the breakers so I can keep the power plug connected
I take an axe to my power meter. I want everything shutdown.
I flip the breaker whenever it’s time to shut down.

It’s a screenshot of a video that I did
You did the screenshot, or the video? Or both?

goddamn generation loss-ass meme.
I thought the Windows update system is actually not too bad. At least compared to Mac.
Yea, it has a robust rollback system, which is part of why it takes so long now.
But… I only do updates a couple times a year to minimize the headache on my personal machines.
My work machines it’s not my problem, but I reboot them at night a couple times a week, just in case.
Compared to Mac? Mac’s is so much better? The number of times windows has fucked me over by updating on a restart.
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.
I think you got lucky then, windows is known to do exactly that. Well, these days it at least gives you a warning that it will do it in 15 minutes or so.
That is crazy because that’s literally what windows is known for haha. My wife’s gaming computer has restarted probably six times just this year without her wanting to just to install updates.
What I’m guessing is happening is that your work has MDM enabled on your device and forces the updates through. That’s exactly what happened with the Mac work computers I’ve had while my home Mac laptops have never done that.
Yeah it sounds like I’m just out of touch with the modern Windows usage experience by the sound of it. It really sucks that it’s gotten so bad, I would be so pissed off if that happened when I was playing a game or something.
me turning off the power supply: (i didn’t have anything open so hopefully it’s fine…)
It’s much less risky than it used to be. Journaling filesystems reduce the risk of filesystem corruption to near zero and are fairly ubiquitous now on non-removable media.
Y’all don’t delete WSUS, block all of the M$ IPs at both your HOSTS file and your router, and stop all update processes?
Do you even know how Windows works?
I don’t really, I just use Linux
Fair. I have two identical PCs. One is Win10, the other is Mint. Saves on figuring out dual-booting.
I just spin up a VM if I really need Windows for something. Haven’t needed it for some years but it’s good to have it just in case
One thing I’ve seen my computer do a few times: log me out, by itself. Some rare times I try and unlock back into my session, my current open and active user with my programs running, and instead I am greeted not by my desktop as it was when I locked the screen, but rather the lock screen as it was before I even logged in the first time around
Windows after pressing shutdown and update: you wanted to use me still right???
Shutdown isn’t shutdown anymore, so it has to reboot for the updates. After the reboot, though, there’s no longer a shutdown pending.
