A stop job is running for ...1 min 30 seconds of estimated 1 minute
Five minutes have passed… SysRq + B
I learned a bit ago that if you hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete seven times very quickly, it’ll bypass a stop task that is being pesky like this!
I found out that if I press the power button it does nothing. If I press it for four seconds, it still does nothing. But if I press it for eight seconds…
KABOOM
I ran into a bug where if I shutdown my PC with anything running through Wine, it will hang at “a stop process” for wineserver, and even that shortcut would not work
Grave dance
I once invoked shutdown right after moving a lot of stuff (> 500GB) on HDDs and the thing timed out before the HDD could finish its thing.
How do you ‘stop’ a stop job at that point and make the system wait longer before shutdown?
This is SIGTERM vs SIGKILL, not Windows vs Linux, they each use both
This is a meme, not an accurate OS manual. 😄
Well some of us still prefer accuracy and or precision whenever possible. Doesn’t seem like a reason not to in this instance.
After the last decade or so, some of us prefer as much disinformation removed from our lives as possible.
It’s not really funny if you know how it works I guess, is the point.
This joke in various meme formats keeps coming back and it’s very frustrating
Linux will try SIGQUIT first, and you can immediately kill a process in Windows too.
taskkill /f /im firefox.exeWindows tip: clicking the X button multiple times will often kill a frozen app.
The problem is that you’re using Windows 95.
I know it’s not totally accurate but this got an audible laugh out of me.
I remember Lego Robot Comics. Weird, this is the second time they’ve come up on Lemmy in as many months.
My favorite was the one about CANDY?? FOR BREAKFAST???deleted by creator
XKill my beloved.
killall -9
Unless it’s in “D” state, then Linux be like “fine, you can annihilate the mf, but there are unfinished IO operations on the now disconnected NFS storage, so… maybe let’s just wait?”
More like a hitman shooting a man in the back of the head with a silenced gun. *ptiouit*
WHITE WHALE
Inaccurate - the solution is obviously to just not use Windows:-P (/s, unless you know, maybe…?)
Lol, are you guys talking about windows 7?Jesus… I’ve got Linux machines, and I get it. They’re great for servers. But what the fuck is this nonsense? Lol.
You’re all clowns is you think this is true in 2026.
Edit: important note: Mac freezes all the goddamn time. Fucking fuck Mac and apple.
Let this sink in, mr. clown
