Yup, and Linux probably boots faster. On my NVMe w/ full-disk encryption (not through the disk’s microcontroller, through an outside FS), I boot to desktop in like 5 sec or less, and the desktop is fully usable. If I want to launch a program, I type the name and hit enter, and it launches in a couple seconds.

My M3 Mac is a little worse, since it gets confused about launching an app vs looking for a file, and it takes a bit longer to boot (20-30 seconds?).

But my SO’s Windows machine is something else. It takes a minute or two to boot, and after that it takes a minute or two to “settle.” I have no idea what it’s doing, but I generally get up and get a drink or something when my SO asks me to get something pulled up. Why is it so crappy?

  I completely trust Systemd to accurately report on itself, the same as I trust American cops to police themselves.

  Back when I used a HDD in my laptop, I was able to get my boot down to 20s or so. I don’t understand what MS is doing…

Yup, and Linux probably boots faster.

Someone once wrote something that compiled the Linux kernel on bootup with TinyC. Even this would be faster.
