Have you used openbsd for anything lately? Systemd is better than the horrible mess of upstart/sysv etc, although the one linux laptop I run is using void (and thus, runit) and you can type init 6 and it doesn’t randomly hang for 2 minutes while shutting down if you’re not using gnome/kde.. imagine! The future is here ;)

It's been a number of years - doesn't openbsd use just plain /etc/rc and /etc/rc.conf? I like that better than init.d just because it enforces some standards around the scripting at least.

I admin a number of ubuntu servers running systemd, and they all shut down/reboot pretty much instantaneously.

I have to give a second endorsement to runit. I really wish more distros would use it.
