        I’m amazed at how long it takes to boot up, too. Especially after the login screen, it’s like 5 minutes from entering my password to the company VPN app finally starting up in the background.

        Meanwhile my 8 year old desktop (I use Arch, btw) takes all of 20 seconds, including both the login and the grub menu.

        • Haha Yeah, Windows feels ancient. Maybe it’s the speed but I also just think it’s clunky. I’m also always confused when I try to use something and then I get a demand for a paid license, like, why the fuck would I pay for this?

          I use a fairly new laptop and I use Pop but it’s so snappy, everything I need and want works without issues, and boots near instantly. It’s perfect for me.

          If it has UEFI, you can shave off half of that by using kernel EFI stub.
