Hey everyone! This is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.

If you like the idea, we need help! Take a couple of minutes to find a comic that you like and post it here for the rest of us!

You also need to have patience.

If ITers were to give up after 2 attempts, like a regular user, the world would have exploded during the Y2K bug.

Does that work like that? After 2 attempts you just end up curious about what is going on, unable to think of anything else, no?

Although sometimes that remain when things fix themselves. "I didn't even really change anything. Just minor things back and forth, and suddenly after 20 reboots it just... started working under the exact same conditions."

If I can't fix it almost immediately and it isn't 100% preventing me from doing my shit, that error is now just part of life.

Maybe. But only if I don't know how to approach it. For example, I just found copying partitions using Gparted and opening detailed informations has a high chance of crashing entire KDE Plasma desktop.
But it restarts and doesn't kill Gparted, so...

I have no idea what's going on though, and no idea what to look for.
