ive been using/managing/fixing computers and servers for 40+ years. from old AS400 to full on cloud bullshit. i can remember only a single time where boot time mattered… when microsofts DNS failures caused servers to take 15 minutes to boot… other than that there hasnt been a single time it has ever been a problem or discussed as an issue to be resolved.
so why the fuck is it constantly touted as some benefit!? it grinds my gears when i see anyone stating how fast their machine booted.
am i alone in this?
I expect my laptop to be fast so if it’s boot time is 30 seconds, I’m now waiting 30 seconds. If I expected it to be longer I could go get a drink or something, but I’m expecting 5-10 seconds so any extra is fairly annoying.
I didn’t buy an m.2 SSD to have HDD waiting times.
