Linux takes the longest for me, no matter the distro. Windows is quite fast for me 🤔

Linux is not really about good boot times I think... Though my arch takes approximately 8s, I use a wm only when I want to use GUI apps, so there's that. Dunno about windows but from what I remember (2015 was the last time I had one on my machine) it wasn't that bad on an ssd. Anyway, who gives a shit about starting times? Let's just focus on the exciting stuff like playing chess or coding so we can afford food.

epse36627yThese days, windows never really shuts down. By default, shutdown actually hibernates. That does skew the numbers
-
@epse Yeah. I turned that off though, because suspending actually led to slower boot-up times.
-
If you think about it the times mentioned in the post are actually physically impossible. If a machine takes shutDownTime amount of time to shutdown then it should take shutDownTime + startUpTime to reboot. If shutDownTime == shutDownTime + startUpTime then startUpTime would be 0 seconds.
-
@Devman in theory yes, in reality no because when Windows shuts down, it does some form of 'hibernation lite', but when you restart it actually does a full shutdown and a full cold boot thereafter, as far as I know.
-
I use arch linux and it takes a looooooong time to do each of these things .. Windows takes just a long time and then I remember when I use to used fedora shit was faster ..

I am using Linux/Windows dual boot on SSD.
Windows:
Boot time: 3-4 seconds
Restart time: 5 seconds
Linux:
Boot time: 10-15 seconds
Restart time: 10-12 seconds -
This happens even when in case, when I just booted into Windows and try to shut it down .
Meanwhile even if I have application running on Linux, it would not take more than specified time -
Noob64707yWindows 7 boots and shuts relatively quickly.
Windows 10 is insanely slow indeed. Especially with the annoying updates.
Linux with a gui usually takes 10s on an HDD to boot and about 3-5s to shut. -
@dontbeevil Yeah, my Windows 10 PC takes 7 seconds to boot to Desktop... (and another second until my K&M driver is loaded and I can use my PC comfortably)

Snob20927yMac used to be true... Since the fucking buggy High Sierra update it needs about a minute to boot up...
