Note that: I will stay on NixOS for the foreseeable future. Checked out Artix and OpenRC, which is cool and I can see its benefits for me. Not yet comfortable to even think about switching. I researched about systemd more, and for now I do not see any hurry to jump ship.

I feel that there must be an general way to call the shutdown command outside of using systemctl. Is that possible? Are there complications? Or would you need to add functionality for other init systems?

If added functionality is needed, I would not mind implementing that myself if it comes to that. That would be my responsibility as I am complicating things by not using the most popular Linux init system.

Yes, you can use any shutdown command you feel like. Just edit the shutdown/reboot/logout entry in the config file or the settings window to whatever command you prefer
