Well for starters, my Wacom tablets drawing pen’s eraser sometimes stops working until I restart my machine. How can I restart the service for this without restarting my machine? How can I identify what service that is? How can I debug the error to prevent it in the future?

This is a helpful tip, thanks

Way ahead of you but that only scratches the surface of Linux. I’ve got a docker compose stack with a bunch of services, DNS and reverse proxies… But that doesn’t teach me about the internals on my workstation

Thanks for the tip on phoronix, I’ll look into this.

I probably will :) but some baselineing would be nice too

While I’m usually a hands on type of learner, usually these days I find my time pretty limited and that’s why I’m looking for a reading approach. I absolutely want to up a machine with arch, there’s no doubt it will teach me many things. I’ve got a lot of items on my ‘to learn’ list though and was looking for a more passive approach I can fit between other tasks away from my machine
