How quickly does your laptop start? I like this idea a lot, I am now going down the rabbithole of finding which distributions boot the fastest (I remember this mattered a lot to linux users about 20 years ago)

I want to say it's like 30 seconds to desktop with Fedora and KDE? I haven't timed it, it's probably less than that.

30s might be the threshold for me; any more than that it is distracting; since this is a laptop I might open it just to check my email for example

Are you really optimizing (for) the right thing here?

How many years will it take to get back the time you now spend researching boot time? :p

I used to have a computer that would use several minutes. I would just turn it on, then get some coffee and have a little pee. It was fine :)
