I think that depends on the settings in the Linux box.

IIRC Ubuntu can be set to show the boot/shutdown messages or hide them
away on one of the virtual consoles.

With Mint, having the messages helps to see that it shut down properly but
showing them all over the desktop looks like it failed to shut the apps.

A simple clear of the screen and then a list of all the shutdown stuff
would look better.
