    Love it or loathe it, systemctl is trying to do the right thing with regard to stability and data preservation.

    If you really mean it, the manual offers a few levels of strength beyond the plain one: -i (don’t check for busy processes, which is what’s going on in the meme), -f (force, presumably asks even less nicely), and -f -f (don’t even ask, just do it now, preservation be damned).

      systemctl is trying to do the right thing

      I love how this comment suggests every fucking alternative doesn’t or wouldn’t. That’s just bloody arrogance.

      Systemd’s entire existence is against best coding practice. Famously, when called out just on the ability to work with others, the systemd team represented trends ably.

      Never have I raged at a machine and demanded it tell me what the flying flaming fuck it was actually doing now than when systemd was trying to do what I’m charitably deciding is the right thing.

      Why would be doing the right thing now? It honestly only does a thing through luck and race conditions anyway.

        How did you get that from their sentence, what the fuck?
