It’s helpful to take a few steps back from time to time to reassess where we’re each coming from on our knowledge of tech (or anything) to better communicate.

    You bring up a good point about the stability of Windows. I’ve been using Linux Mint for the past few months and am quite happy with it. However I’ve experienced at least four different times when the OS has become completely locked; I couldn’t do anything and had to hard reset. Not a deal breaker for me but it made me think about how that never happens to me in Windows any more.

      The OS, or the window manager?

      In 95% of cases, switching to a secondary tty(via ctrl+alt+f<n>) will give you access to find and kill whatever is hanging without requiring a reboot.
