> 90000ms to shut down, which is an absurdly high amount of time (what kind of service can't exit in a few seconds?)

I think I remember reading the biggest culprit nowadays (when specifically looking for why it takes so long for ubuntu to shut down) is snapd, that it unmounts all its squashfs filesystems one by one before exiting.

Looking on the bright side, I would like to thank Ubuntu for self-destructing so comprehensively that it's exposed the Linux user base to other distributions that still respect their users.
