Sometimes less is more

You're forgetting the 10 minutes of mandatory Windows updates.
- Only ten??
A stop job is running for Simple Desktop Display Manager
- I think you can configure systemd to force shutdown such things in like 2 seconds which is the only way I can shut down my Thinkpad running Debian 12.
- So real
Wait you guys don't sudo echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger?
- I think you'd have to do echo o | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger, otherwise sudo only works for the echo, not the write.
  
  Holy shit the reason for tee never really clicked until I saw this post. I’d used it in pasted commands, but it had always seemed superfluous.
  
  echo c | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger 🫣
  
  Ah I guess I just use sudo bash a lot 😅
button?
I don't get it, shutting down looks like the Ubuntu one to me.
- There's a kernel option to disable the text and it's on by default on Arch, but not on Ubuntu.
  Edit: It seems that the kernel parameter is not on by default. I've always used GRUB and the text hasn't appeared for me until I've removed the quiet option in the GRUB config file so I thought it was on by default. It might be on by default with GRUB or I'm remembering wrong.
  
  I'm not sure that's right. I just installed arch a few days ago, and I see that text during startup and shutdown. I didn't change any kernel options. Also, I've never seen that stuff with ubuntu, just a big ubuntu logo.
  
  it's on by default on Arch
  I don't think there is a default in Arch. You have to choose your own bootloader, and the documentation just lays out the options on what kernel parameters to pass. For systemd-boot, the Arch documentation gives example configurations that don't include the "quiet" parameter.
  
  It's not on by default.
I get stuck on a black screen about every 10 or so reboots/shutdowns
