Heh. I ... don't have enough room in my / folder to hold the upgrades anymore and the entire drive is encrypted. I'm not far from having to bite the bullet and Do a reinstall to keep upgrading. 8 years worth of files, writing, collections etc....
Been there and done that. And on an reinstall you hope you got everything you needed to copied to another drive....
The worst I ever ran into was a system that, after updating, blinked between a getty login prompt (no gdm) and a black screen. And when the screen was black, it didn't respond to keyboard input.
My best guess is that it had fallen back to framebuffer mode, but for some reason the kernel was taking an extremely long time to render anything, which hard locked the kernel until it was done drawing the screen.
Reinstalling the latest version of my OS fixed this.
I have Ubuntu and Manjaro installed on 2 different drives with shared home folder (parts of) and shared folder with steam games. If one linux dies, I switch to another one.
I don't think I've ever been there. Closest I can think of is password cursor freezing and having to switch to TTY to restart sddm. This has happened a lot.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •I don't recall ever having this issue on my Ubuntu daily driver, but my Windows gaming PC that I turn on once a month definitely does this. 😩
EDIT: To be fair, the last time this happened it was because my FreeBSD server needed its samba jail restarted for... some reason.
