    Linux actually also has a graceful shutdown process. It tells apps its shutting down by sending SIGTERM, and its up to each process to flush data asap, do whatever they gotta do, and then shut down.

    If they don’t listen then linux will indeed pull out the baseball bat chainsaw katana and make processes die whether they want to or not.
