sudo reboot, that way the gui gets to die in a fire, too!

REISUB. I own you machine, and you will do as I say. Reboot.

Windows: Has a complex and graceful shutdown process to make sure programs never close if there's a problem with them and your computer just stalls on shutdown until you hold down the power button and completely void out the purpose of the graceful shutdown.

Closing correctly means the program stops NOW

kill commands make one feel like a Caesar

If your code can’t handle a sig9 then your code is weak

one of my favourite things when i switched to linux first was using the meta+Q hotkey to shutdown a program (this was with PopOS i think). with windows there is alt+F4 but some programs only use shift+alt+F4 which makes it a lot more confusing. on top of all that if youre using a laptop then its another keypress for the Fn key in some cases

Kill commands make me look like a CS:Go Civilian

I've never seen anything graceful in windows

You literally kill/xkill/killall the program.

Linux does give every application time to shut down correctly, but unlike windows, it won't wait for ages until every process is down. Linux WILL shut down in a certain timeframe, whereas windows waits for years if necessary. In my old job, we all had to use windows and I had times where I clicked shut down, turned off my monitor, grabbed my stuff, left and in the next morning, the PC was still on because Notepad refused to just close lmao.

Linux is actually great if you need to implement graceful shutdown with signals -- I love it all around :)))

If your app doesn’t respond to SIGTERM gracefully, you need to fix your app. The system did its job as documented.

Linux gives processes a chance to gracefully close. However, it also will absolutely NOT allow a process to hang up the shutdown or restart procedure after a point. If you're using systemd (which there is a good chance you are), it'll count down. If the process hasn't stopped in the time allotted, it gets Old Yellered.

1. Linux normally does a nice shutdown as well, unless you force it.

2. You can force it on windows if you really want.

I'm so tired of linux memes posted/made by people who don't know much about windows or linux.

Close correctly my ass, window's priority is to piss us off.
