Wooow, 180 seconds (which probably won’t even get to timeout) when shutting down my computer. My life is ruined forever because I had to wait sooooo much. /sarc
Me dissing yet another “SYSTEMD TAKES TOO LONG TO SHUT DOWN >:(((((((” whinememe on a Linuxmemes community.
I stand by what I said. If waiting 2 minutes for your computer to shut down is so life-ruining for you, you probably don’t even know what a real problem smells like & should probably see a therapist about your lack of basic patience and frustration tolerance
You forget that faster startup and shutdown was a supposed feature repeated so often.
We just didn’t know that looking sideways at dbus would require a restart so often.
Or that it was in hot-gatbage dev flux for a production enterprise product. And it ignored all best practice. Silly things like that when we’re basing our SLAs on stuff.
Wait, are people sitting and watching the computer as it shuts down? I shut my computer down every time I walk away from it for more than an hour or two, and every night. I just type the command and then walk away to do other things while it shuts down…
It’s a habit that’s easy to build if you’re used to windows. Windows really likes to let applications (including task manager) prevent you from shutting down. Especially on slower machines, it will often fake you out by giving you the “shutting down” screen without telling you about the application it’s going to fail to close until like 30 seconds after you hit the button, so you come back to a still-on machine.
Yeah I mean. To me “shutting down the computer” means I’ll be going away from it
Like if I’m going out the house or to bed.
At that point I just tell the computer to turn off and walk away
Also really, waiting two minutes is not a big deal. Y’all are too spoiled by modern machines. Just go have a cup of coffee/water/diet coke/take a piss while your OS does its thing if you’re doing a reboot for some reason.
I’ve had issues with it coming out of standby/sleep as well as with swapping docks if i need it at home. It also boots relatively quick and ensures that any leaky applications are killed.

Ah, OK, “have you tried turning it off and on again” is of course a time honoured workaround for hard-to-solve problems — I had just taken for granted that the question was about computers that worked properly.

Well, on one hand, two minutes is unacceptably slow, but on the other hand, why would anyone ever shutdown their computer so often that this matters?

I stream vr games, reboot before each stream for fresh, smooth run
I shut down my work laptop every night before going home.
Why?

The better question is: why not?
