Mine just kills the power. Faster than manually unplugging the pc

Did you configure it that way? I’m fairly sure the default is to safely shutdown via systemd. How do disk caches get flushed, are you setup to never cache in memory, or do you just lose data?

It is. Just never says what’s hung.

Frankly It’s more like

Windows - “shut down please. No it’s fine, I’ll wait. Indefinately is fine”

Linux “ shut down please. You have 30 seconds or I’ll shut you down myself”

If my pc doesn’t shut down when I click on the shutdown button, I just pull it out of the wall or switch off the psu depending on my mood. At this point I think it’s just affraid of me

You’re forgetting the 10 minutes of mandatory Windows updates.

I think you can configure systemd to force shutdown such things in like 2 seconds which is the only way I can shut down my Thinkpad running Debian 12.

I remember going from MS-DOS to Windows and being really annoyed that I couldn’t see the loading log.

Same with Android phones in the beginning when they were still the scrappy underdog. I wanted to see machinery at work!

I would rather watch console output I don’t understand scrolling by too fast to read than some dumb spinning dots >:[

Wait you guys don’t sudo echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger?

I think you’d have to do echo o | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger, otherwise sudo only works for the echo, not the write.

Holy shit the reason for tee never really clicked until I saw this post. I’d used it in pasted commands, but it had always seemed superfluous.
