Phantasm (nprofile…s2sp) the other day I went to visit my folks.
My mom (who I set up on mint > a year ago) reported that her desktop was acting strange, the start menu wouldn't open.
I go, check the uptime, and it hasn't been restarted for like, 6 months. Some auto updates had run but others were pending a restart.
I was like, "mom, you gotta turn it all the way off once in a while, and install updates and restart if it asks"
I went on to explain that humanity hasn't figured out how to let a computer program run forever without intervention (little white lie but broadly true).
