  • 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

    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
