ChromeOS is probably the fastest (Linux based)

  Chromebooks were already that fast at the time he made the prediction, mostly because they were designed to use coreboot instead of the usual bloated uefi/bios. The only reason wee don't see coreboot everywhere is that motherboard manufacturers refuse to adopt or even allow it.

  Yeah, ChromeOS downloads and applies updates unobtrusively and raises a notification to reboot, which takes a few seconds. macOS takes half an hour to update even if you have an M1 and their fancy SSD. Android takes about the same time and their handsets will get scalding hot during the process. ChromeOS is also the fastest of the non-mobile operating systems to wake from sleep. It is up and running and on wifi before I can raise the lid to its normal position.
