This is so IRL. It was the last drop in the bucket when using systemd, when it started to let me wait out a countdown every time I shut it down. I would just flip the power supply switch. Then I switched from Arch to Artix.
I was pretty sure systemd doesn't have to be configured like that. Anyway, on my company managed Linux systemd tries to access some network service on startup and shutdown. Unless I'm plugged into on site LAN, I get to wait a full network timeout (presumably with retries) every time.
At least it's not Windows.
