Your statement about Linux systems "Hating" having their power pulled is generally false. Think of all the devices in your life that run Linux that have their power pulled and never skip a beat...wireless routers, car computers, the RoboRIO, phones, Smart TV's.
Did you consider the swap file when you wrote this?
