reboot yourself

What is the difference between that and simply reboot? Does systemctl reboot have any benefits?

- Wondering the same
  
  Edit: after a quick google session it seems like usually the reboot command is linked to systemctl so it should be pretty much the same thing as far as I understand.

- reboot is linked (aliased) to your init program. In the case you are using systemd then it's equivalent to systemctl reboot.
  
  reboot is generic and calls whatever init program you use.
  
  There are more than one init. Like for example GNU Shepherd.

- Let's get completely unnecessary:
  
  # systemctl isolate runlevel6.target

- # init 6

  You, like me, must be old.
  
  I also frequently pass -l to the ssh command.

- sudo reboot 0
  
  ...is my go-to.

  reboot -f
  
  Because real men login as root and don't care about such silly things like an init system or file system syncing!
  
  To quote the man page:
  
  -f Does not invoke shutdown(8) and instead performs the actual action you would expect from the name.

I've repurposed a broken T2 macbook with Ubuntu Server, but any time I issue a reboot command, it just shuts down, and I need to manually walk to my garage and boot it back up.

Does anyone know why I'm so stoopid?

- I was having issues with my pc hanging on reboot, so i changed the bios to auto boot when power is applied, and use a smart switch to manually power cycle when it hangs.
  
  Not sure if the mac bios supports that, but its worth a look

I will always use the GUI for this when given the option. Change my mind (you can't).

- I won't try but I'll always use the command line.
  
  It's faster for me! Ctrl+alt+T brings up terminal, sudo reboot. Enter.

- I often remote into my machine, so it's a lot easier to type the command.
