This is misinformation since both operating systems can gracefully and forcibly shut down processes.
Linux ending a process still only uses SIGTERM unless you explicitly use SIGKILL, at least afaik
I was indeed expecting a doctor who reference
Afaik KDE and Gnome do use SIGKILL at some point except for certain processes like running package managers. At least they are able to forcibly close almost anything if you really insist on shutting down now, depending on your (distro) configuration. Correct me if I’m wrong, but from my experience in Gnome you have to click on shutdown twice for it to happen, while KDE gives applications a 60 sec grace period unless you click a button in a notification pop-up.
Edit: Not sure how it is in the terminal aside from those 1:30min grace periods during shutdown.
kill -9 vs taskkill /f
Worst rage bait since Windows 11
Have you ever tried to kill a non-responding Flatpak application?
You mean Xkill differen dissen distan doesn’t work?
Even if it was true.
