I used to think I found the perfect, stable, boring system with Debian + KDE Plasma.
I installed it.
I left literally everything on default.
I booted it.
Everything worked out of the box.
I was looking forward to a perfect, stable, boring computing experience.
My cat walked across the keyboard and crashed the OS.
It rebooted to a blinking cursor and nothing else.
So if you’re hiring a software quality assurance engineer, her salary expectation is 80k kitty treats, a corner office overlooking a park with squirrels, and an assistant who will pet her at work and doesn’t mind getting their earlobes nibbled.

What I need is image recognition software for the webcam that locks the keyboard when a cat approaches.

OP did not take this picture. Their story is made up. Here’s the original: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/3/110
I did not take this picture. I just nabbed the smuggest-looking cat-on-a-keyboard I could find.
But your questioning of my cat’s software testing experience has made her very upset.I don’t know what you did to your cat, but Imgur is telling me the picture “may contain erotic or adult imagery.”
She’s not wearing any clothes and there’s licking and petting involved.
Nothing like heavy petting a hairy pussy to trigger NSFW content warnings
yeah for some reason imgur does that but the video is sfw

Oh, so thát’s what ‘cat’ does!
… but you had a cursor?
Yeah but the mouse was dead for some reason.
cat killed it. get a dog
Is “magic sysrq” enabled? Could be the cat hit alt+sysrq+something.
You’re right, that’s exactly what happened. If you look at the top of the trace, it says __handle_sysrq. Moreover, it’s in the
sysrq_handle_crash. That gets called when a sysrq combo is pressed.
Your cat is silently laughing.
But, nevertheless, I would have thought that Debian could not be crashed so easily. Have you tried another window manager?
I’m as stumped as you are. But Gnome has been cat-proof so far.
You are one talented cat
Maybe you could try zorinos, since debian died on you
Ooh, exciting, a user-friendly distro based on Ubuntu…checks notes…LTS 20.04???
Gnome 3.38.4
gtk 3.24.20Holy shit, that’s older than Debian Oldstable.
When these .deb package versions were released, my cat’s mom wasn’t even born yet.Yeah it gets updates slowly, but zorin 17 has MUCH newer packages, and it just went into beta.
Its updated to to 22.0something
What version of Debian? I hope the 3.1.0 I see isn’t the Kernel release.
No, I just duckduckwent “Hacker Cat” and nabbed the pic where the cat had the smuggest look on her face.
My own cat made sure to dispose of all incriminating evidence.
Imagine yourself playing FPS game (CS: GO 2), and your cat just walk casually on your keyboard!!
