A stop job is running for User Manager for UID 1000 (12s / 2 mins)

also yes i know shutdown typically uses sigterm and waits nicely, but it doesn't take 45 seconds for no damn reason like windows

also sigkill is funnier

Definitely not a systemd based distro in the meme

Reverse meme when it's time to install the updates.

Windows in that case is "I MUST REBOOT IMMEDIATELY PREPARE TO LOSE ALL UNSAVED DATA IN 3. 2. 1..."

"YOU CAN'T SHUT DOWN YET, STEAM STILL RUNNING" -Win10, literally every time.

The fuck?

Ironic. Because a bug on CachyOS KDE made the shut down button in the quick menu disappear. Nobody in their community could help me or explain why. Generally I would say support is rather spotty with CachyOS in general. Of course you can shut it down in many other ways but that was my preferred one. So I just lived with it and instead used ctrl+alt+delete for a while until the button magically returned one day.

Don't be a pussy and sigkill process number 1.

I had to update a Windows 11 work laptop after not touching it for nearly a year. I click 'shut down' from the start menu and nothing happens. What? Try it again. Nothing again.

I have to hold down the power button before the screen shows a "slide to shut down" screen now. How did Microslop fuck up the 'shut down' so badly.

The first time I shutdown a Linux computer, I thought I broke something it happened so fast.

It's tragic the level of immediate relief I feel every time I shutdown on Linux after years on Windows.

also true for boot (not from suspended state), in my experience.

windows: wait, let me display the windows logo for 10 seconds, then show a spinny circle, then show the lock screen, then when you try to enter your password, it loads your user profile for another 5 minutes before it shows your desktop icons

linux: click the power button -> 1.5 seconds later i see the lock screen. enter password and it's just there.

Xkill is my favorite. I prefer aiming the gun and pulling the trigger myself

This but deleting a folder:

• Are you sure you want to delete this
• Delete too large to fit in garbage bin, so are you really sure
• Couldn't delete stuff (for no clear reason)
• Even as admin file locks were hard blocking without any easy way to unblock

Meanwhile on Linux with sudo rm -rf, it's just gone as demanded.

Reboot

Windows: save all your woooork. What apps you had open? How would I know?

Linux: it's all saved in ram, don't worry. It'll be like you never rebooted

Three whole seconds? Ain't nobody got time for that shit

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"

Nah man. "kill" doesn't shut the system down quickly. This is the "instant death" way - the kernel reset gun - no shutdown scripts, no disk sync, just reset to BIOS boot sequence, instantly:

As root:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

If you change out the "b" in the second command for "o" it will just halt the kernel instead of rebooting. Still switched on, but the system is doing absolutely nothing.

I used to use this trick all the time to test high availability server clusters.

I had a systemd bug delay shutdown for 2 mins every time for a very long time on Debian. Never managed to fix it, Fedora did not have the same issue fortunately.

Does that guy have frontbutt?
