Not on my machine. Windows 10 takes just a few seconds (fast boot disabled because of dual boot), whereas Linux Mint takes around 20 seconds. Maybe it's because I have many USB devices attached.
It doesn't matter but shutdown matters a lot on dual boot systems, and unfortunately Linux Mint sometimes takes minutes to restart. I believe it's related to systemd and it's very annoying (sometimes I need to switch quickly because I take Zoom calls on Windows).
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoWhat machine? I've got a 16GB i7 SurfacePro, seems to take minutes compared to other computers I use. Windows updates still take hours and still sometimes need multiple reboots vs Kubuntu which updates whilst in use and barely ever needs rebooting. Having come back to MS Win (for work) after a decade+ away, and with an MS produced computer I was expecting to be blown away by the speed. Aside: have you tried systemd-analyze blamw, very useful for diagnosing boot slowdowns; https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man1/systemd-analyze.1.html https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man1/systemd-analyze.1...

Windows updates take minutes, Linux updates are usually even faster (except for upgrades which are much slower than Windows upgrades). I'll try that analyzer. But I don't think the boot is slowed down, it's just a bit slower than Windows. Shutdown takes minutes, though.
