Postal codes are also 10 characters long in the USA, but this only allows 8 entries…?

*backed off on 7 ?

I think you’re also overlooking that the driver model changed for Vista, so tons of hardware listed as supporting Vista was just extremely unstable at release until hardware vendors figured out the new driver model

Maybe easier to another suggestion, you’re probably using a systemd based distros -

journalctl -b -1 will show you the logs from the previous boot, so you could check that after resetting to see if anything was logged

For some other ideas to narrow down where the issue is…

If you’re stuck in the frozen state, you can Ctrl+alt+delete 7+ times quickly to tell systemd to try to restart the system. If this works, it means init was still able to process messages

If that doesn’t work, you could enable Magic Sysrq Key (if disabled in your distro), and then use the key sequence REISUB to try to see if the kernel is still responding and can reset the system

They’ve been working towards killing it for 10+ years.

It does seem like we’re nearing the completion of their goals

Microsoft released Windows Vista, which was absolute dogshit on every PC at the time it was released.

This also just happened to be not long after Ubuntu was released, making it easier than ever to install Linux.

Installed it, quickly found out everything was easier to configure and tinker with in Linux…

Never saw a reason to go back. Used Windows 7 for a little bit, and it was better than Vista, but it still wasn’t anywhere near as easy to use as Linux

Actually, you have to kill your children before yourself.

They become zombie processes if you kill yourself while they’re still alive.

I want to see the actual characters … instead of squares

Sounds more like an issue with the font you’re using, rather than the input method.

At least for Chinese, we use ibus on desktop (KDE Wayland) and fctix5 on Android. Both work well in those devices

I can certainly understand why one of your libraries was bothering you if you’re merging 250,000 lines of AI generated code in a month.
