1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Linux actually also has a graceful shutdown process. It tells apps its shutting down by sending SIGTERM, and its up to each process to flush data asap, do whatever they gotta do, and then shut down.

    If they don't listen then linux will indeed pull out the ~~baseball bat~~ ~~chainsaw~~ katana and make processes die whether they want to or not.

    But for some reason Firefox doesn't do this properly, so it offers to or just outright restores all my pages on startup. I've never been able to make it stop doing that.

    I'm pretty sure I have, but I'll try again to be sure

    The number of times I have had the Windows shutdown process tell me “please close <some windows process that I never opened> before shutting down” is fucking annoying. Wipe your own ass, Windows.

    The funniest one is when it tells you this but by the time you get back to close the ones that didn't close they've already closed on their own. Confused Travolta.gif

    Bonus points if that exact dialogue is the cause. Had that happen more than once. No idea how

    Meanwhile Windows regularly gets hung up for several minutes on the "shutting down..." screen for no fucking reason. Only happens when I'm in a hurry too.

    i love it when the "this program is keeping the computer from shutting down" program is the shutting down program

    In theory it is a good thing because it's usually programs with unsaved stuff.

    Then randomly reboots anyway even though you said don’t install updates and reboot.
