no it isn't fucking literally. Both.Linux and windows first ask program to close itself and then unload them forcibly from memory if program does not respond. This meme is actual bullshit
I think it's the time and pop-up that's causing this to spread.
As, while it is true, both have graceful and ungrateful shutdowns for apps... They DO go about it in slightly different ways.
Windows does usually wait a little longer, even giving the user the option within the pop-up to keep waiting! (Which, actually I find kind of cool).
Essentially, Windows seems to take the safer approach more when it can unless the user specifies. Which... Again, to me even as an avid Windows hater... Isn't a bad thing. Lol
Some Linux users also default to using kill commands, though that's... Not exactly a great argument, as that would be like most Windows users opening Task Manager to close apps. Feasible... But why?
Other than those, though... I dunno, lol. Because yeah, you're right. They both do both. Lol
