Reply to comment by therealnai249 in LPT: If you click "restart" by accident instead of "shut down" you can click "ESC" and it'll bring you back to the desktop stopping the restart. by Xanoks
My Linux based PCs shut down so fast there's not enough time for that.
Holding the power button to power off takes 4 seconds, Linux shuts down in about 2.5 seconds, with the rare time when a stop task has to run longer.
Bootup of the kernel is under 0.5 seconds, to the login in 3 seconds (most of that time waiting for the screen resolution to switch), from login to a fully loaded system is above 1.5 seconds.
Windows is just slow and terrible, as it always has been.

Linux users try not to mention that they use Linux during any single microsecond of their life challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) 🤯😱🤯😱

Get with the times. It’s less than 10sec to login from cold boot in windows. The extra few seconds doenst matter.

Windows starts to login quickly, it's slow after that, and shutting down is generally much slower.

Who cares if it takes 2.5 seconds or 10 seconds to shut down. I’m literally done using it lol

Sometimes you're just restarting, sometimes you need to disconnect power... those are times when it matters.
The longest time between each system with Windows forced updates is also WAY beyond a few seconds in difference, well into many minutes.

If I need to restart I just press the restart button on my case and that turns it off instantly and starts the restart (not sure if that’s even a good thing).
And also, I simply can’t help but feel you’re grasping at straws. No one’s life is impacted That much by a 4 second difference in restart times you goober.
I agree with the updates they can’t definitely take a few minutes which is absolutely miserable.

The reset button is not a safe way to restart, so I hope you're joking.
The shutdown speed is simply a comparison point between two products, shorter is better.

It’s worked for about 8 years so far 😆
Also you give off the most Linux 🤓 vibes I’ve ever seen lol
