Hmmm... π€
I'm a Linux user, and I have "X11 decides to lock up the entire system irrecoverably for no reason" syndrome. Should probably look into wayland...

Linux Syndrome:
When nobody asked but somehow the solution is Linux.
If you browse linux communities long enough, you eventually start seeing openbsd users who condescendingly speak about linux the same way some linux users speak about windows lol. It's turtles all the way down!
wait till u hear what the templeos people have to say about openbsd

Since when did the Blue Screen concept change from being an actual error screen to simply the Windows update screen?
I'm guessing shortly after Windows began implementing aforementioned update screen?
This is the first I've heard it referred to as the Blue Screen.
For reference: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death

I haven't seen a blue screen in years.
Yes, Linux Preachers, I am a Windows user.

Wow, I'm having this issue right now. Forgot my current laptop at home, so I took out the old laptop which hasn't seen an update in months.
Now it has randomly crashed, as one does (reason why I asked for a replacement) and I'm here waiting for windows to install all the updates...
I saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but βcancelβ is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.
I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.
Greyed out options like that almost always mean the person has been hitting cancel or delay for several warnings already.
This wasn't their machine, it was one the school provided for the auditorium.

shutdown.exe -a should take care of situations like that. It's not an excuse for taking away your options on the UI though.
Does that require admin access? It wasn't their machine, it was one the school provided for the auditorium.
By default a normal user can abort the shutdown. They could also configure group policy to prevent shutdown permissions which also prevents aborting a shutdown.
The GPO is Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Shut down the system.

Linux machines don't crash unexpectedly, because if they do, it's your fault for configuring it wrong and you should have expected it.
Or you just decided to update all your packages like a madman whilst not running on a Debian based distro
Bruh, if a package update breaks something, I just roll back the BTRFS snapshot.
Windows machines don't crash unexpectedly because it's Microsoft and you should have expected it.
My kernel panics in fear of Blue Screen syndrome.
I've used Windows since the late 90s and I've had infinite blue screen loops before. probably a hardware issue but it's not like this fear is irrational.
Seemingly once a year my windows machine goes into an infinite loop of bluescreens. It's because of my wireless/bluetooth card everytime.
Windows will update the driver during one of it's bug updates, fail, then I have to go into safe mode and install the correct driver. Then it's business as usual.
Windows doesn't seem to care that I told it to never update my drivers, it'll still do it once a year.
For me, it's not that Windows updates my drivers during a big update. It's simply that Windows broke the driver while installing a big update.
I've had it happen where my Wi-Fi driver broke so it could only connect to an unprotected network. So I'd simply setup my phone as a hotspot and download the Wi-Fi driver from the manufacturer's website and reinstall it. That'd immediately fix the issue. Though, actually, that issue hasn't occured in years. The last time it happened, I think, was in the early years of Windows 10.
As a linux user (atch btw), there are other OSs as well (bsd, unix, temple, etc.)
There are many OS-related diseases. Many Linux users are affected by or at least know someone who suffers from the compulsive need to mention that they're using Arch. Then there's compiler flag addiction, which can develop in Gentoo users. iDependency, the pathological need to purchase any product Apple releases, has financially ruined many macOS users. Windows users' feelings towards Windows Update and the associated increase in heart rate are known to substantially increase the risk of a fatal heart attack.
Knowing how to operate TempleOS is considered a mental disorder under the DSM-5.
