My 6-year old laptop takes 7 seconds to boot (dual core i5, 8GB DDR3, SSD, ArchLinux). My previous computer used to take ~10 seconds do boot. If you don't have a bloated OS, there's no need for sleep/hibernate.
I guess Kernel/driver developers have a computer that boots fast as well, so they don't care about optimizing sleep/hibernate functionality?
- xyzzyz 6y ago10 seconds to boot is 10 times longer than 1 second to wake up, and after waking up all my state is back, vs extra seconds required to start apps and restore them to their previous state on boot.
- mekster 6y ago> If you don't have a bloated OS, there's no need for sleep/hibernate.. What are you talking about? Sleep and hibernation can keep the state of the computer on next use. Glad you can boot quickly but that's not the point.
- mtsr 6y agoThe biggest advantage to sleep/hibernate isn’t time to first work. It’s being able to resume exactly where you last were. I came from Linux laptops to MacBooks 6 years ago and that was such a big improvement. Not having to think about where I’m pausing my work. Even with the Linux laptop only failing to wake up about 20%. Although sometimes it’d fail to sleep and empty my battery and heat my backpack.
