     now look what Lennart Poettering and Red Hat made me to do it:
     ```
     systemctl poweroff
     ```

     So, how did you change system time because of daylight saving time on MVS in 1994?

     1. Stop network communication
     2. Stop the cache
     3. Stop the hard-drives
     4. Wait until the hard-drives really have stopped (belt driven)
     5. Stop the system
     6. Start IML (Initial Machine Load) and check current time
     7. Check current time again and add 20 seconds, enter this value into the current date/time field
     8. Proceed
     9. Hope

     @railmeat @popey you can configure or disable that action in gnome settings

     @railmeat @nixCraft A quick tap of the power button doesn't force-shutdown unless you're running some weird distro from the past. It's the 21st century. Linux is pretty smart now.

     You get this.

     @popey @nixCraft So how do you test your systems now, just pull the power cord?

     @popey @nixCraft That's right! It's the only way. If it does not boot up probably after that it just shows that the system was weak and should be culled.

     @nixCraft no way, halt already existed in 1995
