Truth

Windows politely asks your programs if they'd like to shut down, waits patiently, sends reminders, checks if they saved their work, and basically treats shutdown like a diplomatic negotiation. Meanwhile, Linux just yeeted Firefox into the stratosphere with zero hesitation. No questions asked, no survivors.

The contrast is beautiful: Windows with its "graceful shutdown process" that sometimes takes longer than your actual work session, versus Linux's kill -9 energy. One treats processes like valued guests, the other treats them like they're trespassing. Guess which one actually shuts down faster?
