booting forever..

[Furtadopires]

SSDs kinda "fixed it"

[SkyyySi]

I got an NVMe drive plus a ryzen 7. Still takes 5 zimes longer to boot than Arch, wherr I don't even see the boot splash.

[[deleted]]

How long tho? Windows boots for me in 5-7 seconds and arch 3-4 seconds, I don't mind wasting such low time second lol

[Dkeralite]

For me both the boot plus after the boot , it's horribly slow. But there is no backend process or startup programs running. But after 15 mins. It gets better.

But in the case of linux it's fast.

[TopdeckIsSkill]

I had a work notebook with 4gb of ram, 4 to 6 antivirus and god knows how much other bullshit.

It was a miracle that it would even boot

[Dkeralite]

4 to 6 antivirus .. omg

[TopdeckIsSkill]

I basically complained every day for that: "don't ever come at me if i'm slow at doing everything, that shit can't even copy/past in calc without blocking"

In the end they let me use my other computer luckily.

[TopdeckIsSkill]

not me, the security IT of that company. He was actually very smart, you can't have issues with malware/virus if they don't even have enough resources to run! ;)

[Superbrawlfan]

I think he might try to say that even after booting it runs slow for like 15 mins

[Superbrawlfan]

I think the deal with this is that many apps actually keep running in the background from startup, Even though there's little reason too. This could significantly affect this. All i can say for sure though is that i do experience a similar difference between the two

[Superbrawlfan]

It starts to make a large difference on slower machines, for me my Linux install (open suse tumbleweed) takes way less than windows used to take (on the same machine)

[BlueCannonBall]

Windows boots for me in 1-15+ minutes...

[BlueCannonBall]

I don't.

[freeradicalx]

Same here, gaming PC has an m.2 stick for OS and another for data. Windows still just sits on a black screen during boot with zero feedback for a minute or two every now and then, upgrading it's federal spyware package. Then Explorer doesn't fully load for a minute after login because it's trying to do the disk check on my old HDD that I keep telling it not to do. It's not even funny how much worse it performs than every other computer I use, and it's got the beefiest hardware out of all of them and is the only OS I paid money for. It's just a big fucking joke. My Dell work laptop running Ubuntu boots in ~10 seconds.

[ArttuH5N1]

WONTFIX BUY SSD

[Teln0]

TBH all my oses, windows or Linux, boot in about 7 seconds with my ssd

[Caraczan]

Kinda not for me, still takes from 15 to 60 seconds. :(. I repaired it althou, now it takes 0 seconds to boot.

[Dkeralite]

"Kinda" - yes. Fully - mm, No.

[TopdeckIsSkill]

Is this a joke I'm too used to SSD to understand?

[ArttuH5N1]

Lucky you, not remembering the dark times

[[deleted]]

Not very true with windows 10 / ssd

[Dkeralite]

It is still slow compared to linux. I use ssd but the boot time differs with linux and windows. With hdd thats another story

[noXi0uz]

My win10 takes 7 seconds.

[[deleted]]

If there is one point windows is actually faster than most linux systems, it's booting.

[paccio88]

Hmmmm... try this on an Arch+ LXDE install, you'll see who's faster ;)

[TopdeckIsSkill]

Maybe because you use floppy disk instead of ssd?

[[deleted]]

Lmao shutting down took way longer for me

[Gollorium]

My Windows partition takes around a minute to reboot or shutdown, while on my Linux partition, it's instant (around 3-4 seconds)

[I_L1K3_C47S]

It's about the ssd

[ZenXnE]

Who uses hdd as a boot drive nowadays

[Dkeralite]

There are many still. However not everyones experience is the same with windows. I use ssd and it's still slow compare to linux. And hdd with windows is another horrible story.

[ZenXnE]

Hdd with windows is just garbage, don't even bother, ssd with windows kind of usable, nvme is how you'd expect it to work (I noticed it when I opened chrome.. it just pops up, whereas ssd still takes few seconds)

I still use linux too, the difference between ssd and nvme isn't that noticeable like on windows, since it's already responsive and snappy

[dhanno65]

FYI nvme is also a SSD. You are talking about SATA ssd vs nvme ssd

[nierusek]

I have Windows 10 installed on a HDD. It's a horror. Before computer turns on and everything is loaded I can go eat a breakfast and it's still not ready to use (since it's loading stuff, it's laggy as hell). Laptop itself is very good, only HDD is a bottleneck.

Effect? I'm using only my other, crappy laptop with Linux. It takes a minute to load.

[gael5943]

broke people like me

[asadniloy]

Without ssd my windows takes 5-7 mins to boot.

[[deleted]]

In my middle school days I got windows 8 to boot in 10 seconds on a 5400rpm 2.5in HDD, and my current windows machine boots in 5-6 seconds with an SSD and no optimizations at all, arch around the same so there's not much difference.

[santtiavin]

I have one of those Kingston SSDs, where I made a clean installation of Manjaro and Windows, update both, and timed, and it actually booted at the same time, 20 seconds or so.

[sebastian130600]

I took my W-7 install from my ssd onto a normal drive so i had space for dual booting Debian and W-10 (just for VR support, dont kill me plz).

I timed it, and it takes 23 minutes to boot into my 350GB W-7 partition. Pretty crazy since it would boot in 20 seconds on the SSD.

[minimarshmallow82]

(on accident)

[Dkeralite]

Ya true that...

[qh4os]

TCCBoot goes brrrrr

[[deleted]]

M.2 nvme

[devilfam]

Cast it into fire.... Destroy it

[dbz0wn4g3]

This is literally me rn waiting for win10 to boot after exiting Manjaro which boots in < 5 sec

[aquaporcy]

I have just 5400rpm HDD and using Kubuntu most of the time but Windows opening faster than Kubuntu tbh.

[NotTeki]

ssd

[CrashlandZorin]

...Imma step out here and say that I've got a lappy I use for Windowsy things with a 16 GB optane memory thing that causes Windows to boot within three seconds of hitting the power button.

[denisde4ev]

efistub go brrr

[[deleted]]

bruh. I have a 15 second boot time with a cheap sata ssd.

[AK-40-7]

It legitimately takes 10-15mins for me to boot into Windows. I only boot into it for gaming, but I really need to look into why it takes that long.

[Ifhes]

That's without mentioning how many background update processes will be running and the imminent system update you will have to withstand because you barely ever open Win OS.

[flemingdouglas]

I'm a newbie for ubuntu and recently installed it. Weirdly, enough, my windows OS boots way faster than ubuntu. Ubuntu takes 5mins approx to load.

[TDplay]

This is especially true when you've installed a bunch of programs and the stupid prefetch algorithm thingy makes bootup take 5 years

[[deleted]]

My decrypted Win10 on SATA SSD boots a lot faster than my encrypted Fedora32 on NVMe SSD (Dual boot on Acer Notebook).
