context also heavily welcome.
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?
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?
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…
It’s a habit that’s easy to build if you’re used to windows. Windows really likes to let applications (including task manager) prevent you from shutting down. Especially on slower machines, it will often fake you out by giving you the “shutting down” screen without telling you about the application it’s going to fail to close until like 30 seconds after you hit the button, so you come back to a still-on machine.
Yeah I mean. To me “shutting down the computer” means I’ll be going away from it
Like if I’m going out the house or to bed.
At that point I just tell the computer to turn off and walk away
Also really, waiting two minutes is not a big deal. Y’all are too spoiled by modern machines. Just go have a cup of coffee/water/diet coke/take a piss while your OS does its thing if you’re doing a reboot for some reason.
