- vasco 2y agoYou'd spend more quality time with it if it looked beautiful. Think about it going up and down those menus for hours on end. Quality grub.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoMeanwhile, with kexec on a good day you can spend zero time in the bootloader for as long as the system doesn't need a full hard-off power down:)
- esseph 2y agoAh. You don't ever patch, I guess.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoOr he is managing headless systems where you don't see the boot process unless something has gone wrong.
- exe34 2y agoI never wait for a computer to boot by staring at it unless I'm fixing a problem with the boot process. I wander off and come back later.
- fuzzfactor 2y agoWhen I'm on the move I'll power up a PC without sitting down and come back to it later, but never "wander off" if I'm already sitting there since it only takes about 20 seconds to cold boot, 5 seconds of which is intentional delay in case I want to choose something other than my default OS from the bootmenu. I say it is really nice not to have any problems with the boot process myself.
- exe34 2y ago> but never "wander off" if I'm already sitting there since it only takes about 20 seconds Ah I take it you don't have ADHD then? For me, it's not the 20 seconds - it's the fact that this time it might be the 2 minutes boot because it did an update in the background. So I'm happy to assume that any boot/reboot is 2 minutes long.
- vidarh 2y agoThat's where those few seconds a year comes from. My boot screen is visible for a second or two when I reboot - this isn't the 90s.
- guax 2y agoI think this is the kind of thing I would do If I had to choose between OSs with frequency, either home lab/experimentation or linux for stuffs and windows for games kind of scenario. So there is nothing to fix, the nice choice screen is a feature.
- nine_k 2y agoLook at the screenshots. They are all about booting multiple OSes or distros, and should make sense for those who switch between them often. ("Why" is another question.)
