Me:
Im going to power cycle the laptop. Right now.
Gemini:
I understand. If your laptop is currently powered on and you are having issues, a power cycle can sometimes help to resolve them.
To safely power cycle your laptop:
Hold down the physical power button until the device completely shuts off (this usually takes about 5 to 10 seconds).
Wait about 30 seconds (if possible, also unplug the power cord and remove the battery if it's easily removable).
Press the power button again to turn the laptop back on.
Is there anything I can help you with once your laptop has booted up, such as troubleshooting a specific issue or finding information about your Arch Linux system?
