Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Windows is doing stuff behind that splash screen too though

    And arch does the exact same thing as Ubuntu :/ not sure what they are trying to say with this one.

    Mine just kills the power. Faster than manually unplugging the pc

    Did you configure it that way? I'm fairly sure the default is to safely shutdown via systemd. How do disk caches get flushed, are you setup to never cache in memory, or do you just lose data?

    I don't know what I did but it does that anyway, and I think it's cool. I like to use my pc in the very very not recommended way so I'm not 100% sure if it's normal behavior, but it did that on multiple installs so it probably is

    It's not. A normal Arch install shuts down the exact same way as Ubuntu.

    It is. Just never says what’s hung.

    Frankly It’s more like

    Windows - “shut down please. No it’s fine, I’ll wait. Indefinately is fine”

    Linux “ shut down please. You have 30 seconds or I’ll shut you down myself”
