Not sure... ESC is a key on your keyboard... You can't really "click" it...

Gen x (1979) grew up as computers were evolving. Pre PnP hardware, where you had to use dip switches. Worked IT in the late 90s through until about 2005.

The lack of any technical troubleshooting, inquisitive nature, problem solving in the youth today is gobsmacking

Basically, yeah. The gen z and younger grew up with technology that was already developed and generally didn't need troubleshooting to get to work. The age of apps. You click, and it goes. If it doesn't, there's nothing you can really do about it. Where millennials grew up during the transition into the current technology we have. We had to learn on the more basic setups and make sure things were configured properly. We had to learn by necessity.

You shouldn't cancel a restart because your system will be half dead with missing subsystems. What you must be doing is restarting regularly

Only if something is blocking the reboot. If nothing is in the wait of being stopped, you are done. Not sure why it's such a big deal though... I mean you can press the power button before the reboot to power down the computer. Or hit shutdown on the login screen before logging in. And BTW, you don't "click" ESC, you hit it, it's on your keyboard...
