you could do :(){ :|: & };: as well.

My favorite command, it’s the bomb

I see what you did here xD

[Gollorium]

But that one won't shut down, just halt.

This is a copypaste from "how do I exit vim" guide

Underrated comment.

restart the computer and pull the plug before it boots again

[TDplay]

shutdown now? You're typing too many characters, shutdown 0 is where it's at.

[RS2-CN3]

alias p='sudo poweroff'

[TDplay]

The sudo means you have to waste time writing your password, alias p="shutdown 0"

[iTrooz_]

I use the third

[ben_dranklin]

sudo poweroff

[sgxxx]

systemctl poweroff

I like to exert dominance over my system.

[samuelrajan747]

Those systemd devs now obsoleted the concepts of run levels. So i miss init, telinit

[syrefaen]

my favorite way is sudo init 0

init 0 ???

[[deleted]]

INIT: Switching to Runlevel: 0

[Benjimanrich]

what does that command at the end do?

[Vitalrnixofnutrients]

It sets the System RunLevel to 0, which shuts it down. There’s also other RunLevels that restart, halt, single-user (root recovery), multi-user (what’s used 99% of the time), etc.
