Two panel meme.
Top panel: Woman in the front seat of a car screaming at a child in the rear seat. She’s saying “Why can’t you just shutdown?”
Bottom panel: A child screaming “A stop job is running for Session c2 of user … (1:30 / no limit)”


That can hit any time, not just in shutdown. At bootup, when suspending, etc. This message and the wait time is so bad. Systemd basically implemented Windows Update waitouts on Linux! It’s incredible!
Switching from systemd to sysvinit solved that pretty nicely.
I don’t think that’s true. Bootup and suspending don’t need stopping things like that.
Source: I use systemd btw
Oh but it’s not just stopping things, starting things is subject to the same issue also:
A start job is running for "wait for network to be available"(attached to a network interface that is not necessarily connected at bootup)
Systemd is just special.

Well I guess that tells you everything.
