I can't take you seriously when you don't justify your claims. Sure, it may be that fast startup is important for you, but it's not important for me as a desktop user, and it's not important for me as a server administrator. I reboot every couple of months at best when there's some kernel update, I suspend my desktops to RAM instead of shutting them down.
Two minutes of downtime per server is also irrelevant to its two month uptime, especially when you have clusters of servers so your service doesn't experience downtime at all.
- ootachi 15y agoDecades of user research has shown that users really care about fast bootup times. Your use case is the minority. Why do you think that fast start is Google's #1 selling point for Chromebooks, for example? (Not that Chromebooks are successful, but Google is famous for paying attention to user research.)
