  • What are the crazy historical reasons? As far as I know, running six ttys and one graphical session, in that order, has been standard.

    The really crazy historical way to test for crashes is num/scroll/caps lock. That’s handled by a very low-level kernel driver. If those are responsive, it’s probably just your display (gpu, X, wayland, or something) that’s locked up. If they’re unresponsive, your kernel is locked up. (If you’re lucky, it’s just gotten real busy and might catch up in a minute, but I’ve only seen that happen once.)

    Generally, we don’t. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to mess with it. Two times I had to use restorecon, and two times I had to loosen permissions for an HTTP server. Literally everything else has worked without issue.

    I know some people love to bitch and moan about it, but honestly I have to ask what they’re doing, because I’ve had zero non-trivial problems.
