    Had to go and look. (don’t really pay attention to these things normally)

    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

      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?

        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.

            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.

            The better question is: why not?
