How much faster do your VM servers start with systemd?
On the desktop, I feel like boot time is slightly longer than it was 20 years ago, yet hardware is faster now. I used to shut down my computer every night back then; now I leave it running, because it takes so long to get back to where I left off.
- deathanatos 5y ago> now I leave it running, because it takes so long to get back to where I left off. I think it takes my Linux system ~13 seconds to boot? That is definitely less time than it took 20 years ago, but I think that's mostly b/c the storage is no longer slow spinning rust running on IDE cables more than anything else…
- iso1631 5y agoReturning to state is what takes time, not the boot process to login. It's Monday morning at 10:30, I've already got 29 tabs on 3 windows across 2 virtual desktops (2 monitors each) running on my main desktop. I've trimmed down to just 30 various rxvt windows with ssh or vim open, with files and notes at various stages of completion. Some tabs may restore next time I load my browser, some won't.
- VortexDream 5y agoIt's because of this that I've started to do everything in VMs. I can always save state and pick up where I left off without worrying about losing anything.
- iso1631 5y agoDon't you have the same problem of having to reboot the VM occasionally?
- dale_glass 5y agoHaven't compared because I'd have to try SysV and see how much longer that takes. My current server boots in 10 seconds, which isn't bad.
