Hyvää ystävänpäivää! Happy friends day!

I'm still under the weather (enough to get another 3 days of sick leave from the doc 🤧), but thinking of dear friends old and new (and hoping none of you are suffering in misery like me 🤪).

While I have a new friend to keep me company, I haven't mustered enough energy to play with them yet... which is so out of character for me coz usually I'd be jumping on such a new friend 😍

A quick search turned up this: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-38-not-shutting-down-properly/83458

Funny thing is I skipped F38 and went from F37 -> F39. I do have trouble resuming from longer sleep sometimes in earlier versions, and have to hold the power button 10s to reboot. But as far as I can recall, when I shut it down it always shuts down.

Fedora 38 not shutting down properly

I’ve been having this issue for some time now, so I have decided to adress it. As follows: When shutting the system down through the GUI (by clicking shutdown in the drop-down of GNOME), sometimes the system will shut down completely, except for both the laptop and one of my peripherals staying on. The screen will shut off and I am unable to do anything. Not even a mouse cursor will appear. The keyboard will be powered off, along with my mouse. Effectively making me forcefully shut it down by p...
