(風の庭園のNekohayo)The "systemctl soft-reboot" <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/systemd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#systemd</a> command is so cool :blobaww: <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-soft-reboot.service.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-soft-reboot.service.html</a>Finally a clean way to rapidly re-start everything other than the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> kernel… for me, it is extremely useful to be able to do that after applying desktop & graphics stack updates, and to be able to log back in within 10 seconds.Throwing the idea out here: it would be very nice if someone figured out a way to write a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GNOMEShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GNOMEShell</a> extension to provide "Soft reboot" as an alternative to cold reboot!
