    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

      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-garbage 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.

      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…

            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?

              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.
