This is blatantly false, 99% of Gnu/Linux distros actually have systemd nicely asking the processes to terminate themselves, it just doesn’t take longer than ~10 seconds usually.
This meme would imply a sigkill.
Edit: the distros that don’t use systemd likely don’t do any such thing either, I just don’t know about them.
Except on the Linux systems I’ve used, when I ask it to shut down, it shuts down no matter what. Windows and macOS let programs stop the shutdown process indefinitely (when shutdown/reboot are invoked the usual way).
Kernel will happily kill processes if it’s out of memory, regardless of systemd or whatever. But in general Linux first asks nicely for the program to shut down and if it doesn’t comply then it’s SIGKILL time.

I think that’s what the meme is trying to get at.
I wish that was the case, I’ll often find my Linux desktop running because the os failed to shut something down.

Which IMO is a most reasonable oder of operations
Yeah, I’m kinda sick of seeing this false information on
this subthe linuxmemes community. It’s a surprisingly common meme subject somehowThis ain’t the Linux memes com
that’s why I edited
ah I misunderstood you then, my bad 😅
