How come it takes more than a minute to shutdown or reboot the system?

@unix_lover

so whenever you turn off your PC you use the keyboard shortcuts?

No, after you do the configuration which as far as I remember and understand is just running a command as:

@Kresimir

Run this command in the terminal:

echo 'kernel.sysrq=1' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-reisub.conf 

Switching off the computer is done normally.
ONLY in case you find this issue of jobs running and taking forever to switchoff/restart you press the buttons as shown in the thread to force it to shut down.
