Oh, I see the problem.
It’s Windows 10.
My Debian linux system hangs on shutdown about a third of the time. It’s fun.
Woah, watch out, the Linux lemmy users don’t allow negative Linux posts. Thoughts and prayers for your family.
I’ll miss them when I’m in a gulag guarded by armed penguins.
Well ackshually I use OpenRC. You soystemd users and your stop jobs. I want my system to crash whenever I shut it down. no mercy /j
Mine does that too. It’s usually only for around 20 seconds, so it doesn’t really bother me.
Mine is still hung when come back the next day. I’ll spend some time figuring it out eventually.
and outlook
My work Mac refuses to restart until I force close my IDE.

I mean that’s just regular windows shenanigans. It often says it’s waiting on some apps forever, and when you click cancel it tells you it’s actually updating and that’s why it’s not shutting down.

Inside the kernel, even!
It’s called Windows
Holy shit. I just remembered using windows and I think im going to be sick.
systemd-shutdown[1]: Waiting for process: …
shutdown && exitKDE: Broadcast message from user@hostname on pts/1 (Date and Time): The system will shutdown in 60 seconds.
Just yank the power cable. If it gets corrupted just blame windows and switch to symbian os.
Instructions unclear, battery power activated.
Damn, it’s a laptop.
I shutdown once in a blue moon and even then don’t see this message often.
At work I use windows, at home I use Linux. They both have their annoyances. Linux more because of availability of apps natively running. And windows more because windows is painful to use as a power user.
I also use Linux at home and am forced to use Windows at work. I disagree with Linux being more annoying, I’ve fully embraced the mindset that open source/Linux supported software is the only software that exists and I haven’t had any issues since I switched years ago.
Of course if you really really need some specific software for some niche that doesn’t have a perfect open source equivalent that’s a harder pill to swallow for some.
I’m much happier on Linux, my windows work PC is nothing but a pain to use.
I’m still a relative noob with Linux and I find stuff “breaks” more on Linux (‘breaks’ as in does something I don’t want it to), nursing and it can take me a while to fix those things because I’m still learning. It takes a while in part because I want to actually understand what’s going wrong (and how to fix it), rather than just doing the thing.
With Windows, when it’s doing something I don’t want it to, it’s usually a much more straightforward troubleshooting process because often, it’s a problem I can’t solve. The stuff I can change is quicker because I have more experience with Windows, but overall, the experience is much more frustrating because of all the stuff I need to tolerate. It makes it feel like my computer isn’t my own.
Fair, definitely a learning curve and I can definitely sympathize with trying to fix things in Linux, I have had my fair share of why is that doing that, I just find that more tolerable than windows lol.
Yes of course! And we always have Wine. I had a situation yesterday where I needed to remove some triangles (millions needed to be removed) from an STL file and there is a native app for window. On wine Linux it runs super slow. But…I don’t have a windows machine right now. So I had to buckle up for slow rendering of my triangles lol
Windows is harder to use as a casual user
The only thing it really gets right are forced updates but the updates it gives aren’t great
i wonder what kinds of terrible and awful things are being done in the implementation of explorer.exe. i cant think of any filebrowsing task so performance heavy that it would interrupt a shutdown or cause any kind of noticeable delay when opening a new window.
Keep in mind explorer.exe is not just the file manager, but also the entire desktop itself.
That’s one thing Microsoft can’t do: give us a check box that says “always do this” on some of the shut down hangs. My audio drive does it here and there…not enough of an issue to go mess with it. Still, my computer will patiently wait for me to click the damn button.
There is some kind of solution involving legacy windows tools straight from windows 7 or older. I had that issue with an early version of Nvidia Broadcast and I found a way to always kill the process when I want to shut down the computer. I remember it being an actual feature, albeit buried in the aforementioned legacy menus.
Interesting, I’ll have to take a gander. Thanks!
Hi, it’s a new day and I can think a bit clearer now. I remember what the setup was. It’s not entirely an automatic feature.
What I did was create a simple one line batch script that kills a process with a specific name, in my case Nvidia Broadcast. Then, I used Windows’ task scheduler, to automatically run this script when I shut down the computer.

shutdown -s -f -t 0
Why is it that long when shutdown -p -f works great?
Nice, didnt know about /p. Always used /s with 0 sec of delay
Thanks, updating my shortcut now
That’s what the power switch is for
Unplug it from the wall
My laptop is laughing in good battery health.
My laptop refuses to suspend when I close it…my battery is crying
