    Windows can kill a process outright.

    Hmmmm…

      Taskkill /f is reasonably close to sudo kill -9

      Hitting the X in Windows and hitting the X in Linux both cause the application to start a save yourself routine. From the OS standpoint they’re not far off.

      The problem is we have a lot of confirmation bias in windows because every time we want to close an application that’s not working, that save yourself call has to sit around for a hellaciously long time out followed by a telemetry call so that Microsoft can track that it happened.

      It’s pretty rare that Linux apps don’t just close.
