Hell if I know, I recall some discussion involving grub no-splash but maybe I’m conflating the forum posts I read. The main idea is that some process is running and preventing the graceful shutdown but I haven’t read the posts in a while.

I do find it odd this only happened after a reinstall where grub is realistically the only change (shifting the install drive + boot options, deleting windows)

I know I gotta do some digging if I want to fix it but I’ve got other fish I’d rather fry

I weirdly got a problem after blowing away my windows partition

Shutting down the computer (mint) doesn’t fully shut down anymore, so I gotta physically hold down the power button til it goes off

Internet says something with grub is probs wack, but I’m lazy so I just made a shortcut to “shutdown -f 0” and called it good

HIPAA :p

Ain’t no hippa hippo here

I went one step further and used python to handle the flags and what not

Just gotta add each url / playlist to a text file, then run the python script

But seeing all these GitHub’s with much more elegant solutions is pretty cool
