Two panel meme.
Top panel: Woman in the front seat of a car screaming at a child in the rear seat. She’s saying “Why can’t you just shutdown?”
Bottom panel: A child screaming “A stop job is running for Session c2 of user … (1:30 / no limit)”
Ughh recently had an amd graphics kernel bug which would lock up some /proc file somehow
You’d go “why are fabs at max” type ps or top and they would freeze. System monitor would freeze.
“Okay, I’ll just reboot, this is fucked”, and systemd is just there:
Luckily it’s patched now. Hopefully those hard reboots didn’t damage anything.
Hard reboots don’t damage anything but the OS state, and even that has been protected against the last 2 decades.
That is good to know, because I do not want to replace a 2tb ssd.
Some computer components don’t protect against voltage loss and some OS components aren’t tolerant to sudden shutdown but we’re 99% the way there. Any of the two which don’t have protection at this point are complete garbage.
Apart from static discharge, or a broken power supply, I don’t think there’s anything your computer could do to the SSD to actually break it. Worst case you just need to reformat it.
(I guess if it writes to it constantly it could wear out, but that’s different than a hard shutdown)
