I used to think I found the perfect, stable, boring system with Debian + KDE Plasma.
I installed it.
I left literally everything on default.
I booted it.
Everything worked out of the box.
I was looking forward to a perfect, stable, boring computing experience.

It rebooted to a blinking cursor and nothing else.
So if you’re hiring a software quality assurance engineer, her salary expectation is 80k kitty treats, a corner office overlooking a park with squirrels, and an assistant who will pet her at work and doesn’t mind getting their earlobes nibbled.
You’re right, that’s exactly what happened. If you look at the top of the trace, it says __handle_sysrq. Moreover, it’s in the
