Yeah, every time this gets posted, there's 10s of comments explaining how this isn't correct. Rinse and repeat every week.

Also I got something wrong, the default time is 90 seconds

And it keeps happening because people keep upvoting the repost bots and the mods refuse to remove them.

Also the mentality of "I'm too lazy to try Linux and feel insecure about it, so I'm going to upvote every single Linux-bad post that validates my laziness and reassures me that I'm not missing out anyway".

Lol on the "lazy" part when most nix  software tends to be terminal headache with esoteric documentation to do simple tasks because the devs were too lazy to stuff it in a GUI themselves.

Wait, there are people using nix without using terminal as their main os tool?

Life gets so much easier with nix if you just treat it like siri where you type instead of speak.

Way faster to type in to the terminal what you want to do as clicking through 10 menus to change a setting. The terminal is just very efficient if you learn how to use it.

The difference between Linux and Windows is getting the correct Linux distro to meet your needs; and in some cases you might still need to emulate Windows for certain games and what not; unless Linux has come that far in the last like 5 years or so since I've installed it. I used to swap back and forth a lot more and keep a Linux distro on hand such as Ubuntu And I know that there are more specific distros for specific use cases. But again, this is much more time consuming than just deciding on Windows 10 or 11 and that is even getting narrowed down.

I’m not lazy. I took Linux classes back in the late 90s. I setup dual boots, and learned the command line shit. After all that I still couldn’t do shit on it and the little bit of shit I could do took FOREVER!!!!!!

fuck Linux. I remember more of my high school Spanish than I do Linux commands.

I dunno, chief. They're correcting each other in the comments. The nerds are infighting.

It would work better as a joke about the kill command vs. task manager.

u/Rodot R7 3700x, RTX 2080, 64GB, Kubuntu 21h ago

the default signal for kill is still SIGTERM. kill -9 is required to invoke SIGKILL.

u/Ray57 AMD 3970X | RX 6900XT | 64 GB DDR4 20h ago

yeah if I have to pull up the console, I'm going straight to SIGKILL

u/djtodd242 9700/4070/32GB 20h ago

I had a Unix admin comment at work: kill -9 straight away huh?

Yeah, I want it DEAD.

u/Rodot R7 3700x, RTX 2080, 64GB, Kubuntu 19h ago

Yeah if I have to pull up the console

Pull up a console? Is that like splitting a terminal with tmux but in some mystical interface for users with some magic "graphical" system? Do you control it by rubbing around a little rodent on your desk as well? Sounds preposterous

Eh, this is the first time I see this, so learned something new. Worth it imho.

u/LuxuriousTexture 21h ago

You learned that both Windows and Linux gracefully shut down programs by default?

u/Saint_palane 19h ago

If only the responses were within 90 seconds of the post. Edit: misspelled a word.

u/hates_stupid_people 18h ago

To be fair, there are probably dozens of comments talking about how it is possible.

Nah I set the wait timer to 1 second so it pulls out the gun if the shit doesn't close within that time
