You don't just have to jump to kill -9 like that. At least give the misbehaving program a chance to get it's affairs in order and a chance to say goodbye to it's children with a standard kill command.

Aight, I will not use kill -9 I promise

Yeah, I rarely resort to a SIGKILL signal. I just thought this illustration was funny.

I personally LOVE Linux SIGKILL as it can save me so much trouble. I was running puppy linux on a shitty old laptop and just browsing the internet could fill the RAM. Having this SIGKILL allowed me to immediately kill any offending program and surgically control what was open and what was closed with hotkeys (random script i wrote). I don't dream of even knowing what's actually open or closing on Windows.

Yeah, SIGKILL is indispensable when it comes to thrashing scenarios. I'd have librewolf opened for days on end because I use a laptop for my main workstation and it'd slowly leak memory until I run out of ZRAM for my swap and my system would lock up. I'd just enter a different TTY and SIGKILL librewolf. This rarely happens now since I have 16GB of memory with my "newer" used laptop.

I have 8gb and right now it's minute 10 of me turning on a hibernated windows and clicking restart. Minute 11. It's still restarting. Some app says "saving database to disk". Shoulda done that before bruv, force killed everything, still took me 12 minutes, it's still going! This is a RTX 2060 8gb ram MSI that is "omg so awesome" until it can't handle 2 browsers + 2 vscodes + 1 hibernation. Minute 13, it just turned on again. I shoulda just long pressed the power button.

All fun and games until kill -9 hangs and dmesg is filling with kernel oops's.
