Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...

It’s not frustrating if someone starts with linux without using windows once.

Yes, and everyone knows the blue screen of death!! It’s so annoying.

`pkill -9 -f firefox` won't work, what can be a possible explanation? (social.fossware.space)

My friend was running firefox on linux mint, and it froze and he used xkill to kill firefox. But still it shows up in htop ps -aux. He tried to kill it multiple times but it didn’t work. See the pictures for explanation. We had to kill power to shutdown, even systemd can’t stop that process....

antihero OP ,

I knew it was something related to kernel. Now I have some some explanation of if this happens again.

antihero OP ,

Sorry my mistake, it was pkill, but we also tried kill with process id, and we also tried killall. Every method that I knew i tried.

antihero OP ,

Sorry, it was a mistake, I fixed the post. Also I tried many other ways to kill that process. Thanks for the BUSIER tip.

antihero OP ,

Yes, I killed the parent process. Also after killing the process with firefox PID, the file equivalent to that process /proc/PID was still there. I think it could be - “likely I/O or driver related” or “stuck in a syscall waiting on some kind of I/O operation that isn’t timing out/is bugged out/can never complete”.

crazy updates which broke normal functionality, absence of tiling window manager
