Congrats! Best of luck on whatever the next step is.

You’re… pretty good.

It bears repeating, so: fuck Microsoft and Windows.

Can confirm. For anybody else reading: Mint was my first Linux distro away from Windows, and it’s been great daily driver.

Hail science!

Switching to a TTY screen and doing the sudo poweroff command. In my testing, I also found that opening a terminal in the regular desktop environment also worked.

I was also experiencing your same issue, just tried @muhyb@programming.dev’s recommendation, and my computer shut off completely as desired.

Edit: I also opened a terminal and “sudo poweroff” and “sudo shutdown now” both work, so for me, I didn’t need to switch to a TTY console.

I also have had this issue recently. The OS will be off, but the hardware itself (fan, lights, etc.) is still running

You just can’t win with some people.

Are you talking about the Crowdstrike incident?

Users are the enemy of IT workers.

Sounds like the kidneys could use some load balancing too.

If you haven’t noticed yet, the Linux community gets pretty divisive about distros. For what it’s worth, my friend swears by Ubuntu. Personally, I use Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu, and my issues are pretty infrequent or troublesome.
