A #reboot is a solution to many tech problems. But if you are on #Linux, did you know you need to reboot only if your kernel has changed? Otherwise you can do a "soft reboot" and get the same thing. You need to kill the init process and make it respawn. It varies from distro to distro but on #systemd ones, you can do systemctl soft-reboot and it'll do the job for you.

Also if you have problem with your graphical shell, you can simply restart your graphical stuff. Not even a soft reboot is needed. For instance if your display manager is lightdm like me, simply do systemctl restart lightdm.

I think this applies to other #unixlike operating systems with the similar kernel and system architecture as Linux. Maybe #BSD people can share their experience?

Cuando me preguntan si merece la pena pasarse a Linux, podría empezar enumerando sus virtudes, lo bien que funciona en sistemas antiguos o la cantidad de software y herramientas que vienen preinstaladas. Sin embargo, prefiero que me respondan a una cosa. ¿No has notado algo usando Windows últimamente? Algo como...

- Que la máquina no es tuya, sino que la tienes de prestado.

- Que no haces con ella lo que quieres, sino lo que te dejan hacer.

- Que debes vivir cada día con temor a que tu Windows se bloquee tras una actualización, a que te inunden de publicidad, a que metan funciones que no quieres y te quiten las que sí, a que roben y comercien con tus datos...

A todo eso le da la vuelta Linux. Tu PC vuelve a ser tuyo y trabajar para ti. Por muy oscuro, técnico o diferente que parezca (y al final no lo es tanto), es un sistema operativo diseñado por gente que piensa en hacerlo útil para otra gente, no en atarte a un producto o servicio para sacarte el dinero. Hay una comunidad de personas, haciendo cosas para personas.

Linux es una maravilla técnica, basada en conceptos sencillos, humanos y cada vez más necesarios.
