> If Linux could boot in 5 seconds on low tier hardware in 2008, why do I need to wait ~30 seconds to boot it on modern hardware in 2022? I am not sure why you have to wait 30 seconds. My current system runs PopOS, and it takes less than 10 seconds. My previous install (NixOS), used to boot in about the same time it took for my monitor to understand that the system was on. The BIOS screen takes about as much time as the OS to run(I have fast boot disabled). By modern hardware, I assume you are using a SSD.
