SystemD's default TimeoutStart and TimeoutStop are too long for Desktop

[Damiön la Bagh]

On Ubuntu 18.04LTS starting and stopping the computer is extremely slow.

SystemD defaults to a start time timeout of 90seconds and a stop time timeout of 90seconds
in the file

/etc/systemd/system.conf

This is great for huge databased raid systems in some cloud datacenter but is very inappropriate for desktop computing where there is a human waiting for the process.

Ubuntu Desktops need to have the
/etc/systemd/system.conf

Set to timeout in less than <10 seconds (the magic computer irritation moment for humans) out of the box, default

for example:
DefaultTimeoutStartSec=9s
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=9s
