Legend of Grimrock it's an old school style dungeon crawler.. brings back memories of games from the early 90s for me.

Final thoughts on my Linux daily driving choice in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I used Arch for a couple years and enjoyed it. Occasionally an update would break the system but there was always a fix on the Arch forum. I found it quite easy to install and use, but I'm a long time Linux user, wouldn't recommend it to a beginner.

Thanks but it looks to be more trouble than it's worth I'm not very tech savvy, I hoped there would be an easy fix but I'll go without the Magic Sysrq commands.

I think I'm out of luck then, I did some research before making this post and my keyboard (Logitech k400+) doesn't have an alternative key combo.

I guess I'll have to keep doing safe reboots by logging into a terminal, a little less convenient than Sysrq + reisub but not a big deal.

Thanks everyone.

It's rare I need to reboot a locked up system but I'd like to have the option available if it should happen.

I use a wireless keyboard which isn't full size and unfortunately doesn't have a Sysrq or Printscreen key. Am I out of luck with using Magic Sysrq keys or is there a way to use an alternative key combination?

Thank you
