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

      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.

      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.
