I am quite new to Linux and started using KDE Linux as my main os. I was wondering why does my Linux system start up with running programs and processes from the last session when I start it up again? I like to use the terminal a lot and I just like to use the "poweroff" command in the terminal. My friend told me to use the "shutdown 0" command but it didn't help. Is there a better way to shutdown my system so it would start up with any programs or processes running from the recent session?

3I'm not a KDE user, but in other desktop environments like Xfce there is a settings configuration for startup programs. In Xfce there is a simple checkbox for whether or not to remember the running programs from your previous session. I suspect there is something like this for KDE, and it should take effect regardless of how you terminate your session or shut down your system.– airhuffMar 2, 2017 at 20:37

There's a setting in KDE where you it can save a session, so that if you leave some applications open, on next startup, it'll reopen those same application again. You're looking to start with an empty session.

This is the correct answer. The option is
Start with empty sessionuserbase.kde.org/images.userbase/4/40/…– m_krsicMar 2, 2017 at 22:42
shutdown -P now
But make sure your bios settings are correct and that it's not hard-wired to go into a sleep/standby mode as it seems to be doing.
When your friend suggested using shutdown 0, perhaps the intended command was actually meant to be:
sudo init 0

you need to use sudo shutdown -h now or sudo shutdown -h 35 if you want to shut it down after 35 minutes
It is also very handy to disable sudo for shutdown command so you can run it as a simple user.
