From total power-off to login prompt on my linux laptop takes about 18 seconds. I've timed it.

No need for the stopwatch!

Spits it right out for you.
And for fun systemd-analyze blame
I’m not deep into it, just a user since the IT guy at work gave me an Ubuntu disk and said to keep the workstation but erase the drive.
Then my wife’s win10 choked on an update...OK do a RESET...
NOW MS wants the PASSWORD for the linked email account!!!
Yes, a local account is a workaround; BUT ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP!!!
Thank you Linus Torvalds!!!
Yes, scanner drivers might drive you inSANE, a small price.

Startup time is something I don’t worry or think about. I reboot every few months. (Normally when I go ahead and accept a kernel upgrade). It could take 5 minutes for all I care. I’d just go get a cup of coffee.
I think Linux is now far superior in almost every way to MS-Windows these days. The only bleak spot is that the evil bastards at adobe no longer provide a way to edit PDF forms. I have some really weird forms that I have to use at work, and it’s a pain that I can’t upgrade the VM I use to do most of my work because I haven’t been able to get anything that will work with these forms on more recent versions. Producing my own PDFs is obviously no problem, but those specific forms suck.
I’ve been using Linux for so long I can’t even imagine having to live in a primarily MS-Windoze world. It seems so incredibly primitive IMO.
