Windows and macOS let programs stop the shutdown process indefinitely (when shutdown/reboot are invoked the usual way). I think that’s what the meme is trying to get at.
minus-squareKiwiTB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 month agoI wish that was the case, I’ll often find my Linux desktop running because the os failed to shut something down.

minus-squareалсааас [she/they]@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoThat would depend on the DE I suppose, on GNOME it’ll show open programmes and wait 60 seconds for the user to intervene IIRC. Still doesn’t kill them though and asks them to properly terminate themselves which allows them to take care of everything.
