They have successfully circumvented the reboot. I just always turn that setting off. SSDs are ubiquitous, nobody needs a fake shutdown. It just causes more issues.

Make a law that says, if you don't keep supporting it you have to open source it. It's just fair.

Are the asexuals at it again?

On windows? WHAT? You drunk? Linux has zram. This is where the discussion ends immediately.

I love having it idle at 100% for 30 mins, fan at max, just to update some windows nonsense. Updating 500 packages on linux is done in 5 mins including the download.
