Is it installing an update?

I believe this is a symptom of Windows.

It’d odd that they don’t have a Linux version of proton drive.

KISS Launcher - blazingly fast launcher focused on search

Seriously you don’t know what you’re missing if you’re not using this.

Shelter - isolate and run multiple instances of apps using Work Profiles.

Similar to Island and Insular.

I love FlorisBoard. It doesn’t have autocorrect yet… which is one of it’s best features

For your case…

Alt + SysRq + O

sudo shutdown now

I have never seen a person who uses Windows search instead of a browser to search the web, and I doubt anyone actually does. Even the people you mentioned.
