I hear you, and I've restarted the display server plenty of times on my computers instead of restarting them, especially on my main desktop where I have lots more stuff running independent of the display (daemons, etc). But, I feel lik

Looks really interesting; I've just started listening to the audiobook. Also, while I obviously haven't listened to this audiobook yet, it's read by Steve West, and I have listened to him narrate audiobooks before. He's
