Even though different Linux distros are often fairly close in terms of real-life performance and all of them have a clear advantage over Windows in many use cases, we can't reject the fact that Arch Linux has undoubtedly won the competition. And now I'm so glad to have another reason to proudly say "I use Arch btw"

FreeBSD's boot speed is just behind arch a little bit (on HDD).

But Windows 8 (with fast startup) on an core 2 duo machine with 1G of RAM boot faster than any debian, ubuntu. (the boot speed decrease when you upgrade hardware lol :) )

I had a Windows 8 machine (8G of RAM) in the past. It booted in like 15 seconds. But on Windows 10 or Linux it took more than a minute. Why didn't Microsoft brought this feature to Windows 10?

This very fast startup thing. On Windows 10 and 11 it doesn't really work

[-] scratchandgame@lemmy.ml 0 points 8 months ago

No it works. When on my windows 10 machine boots in < 15s. When off it takes a minute (HDD)

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Hmm in my case it was the same 1 minute +

You know Arch users can just tattoo it on their forehead. That way they don't even have to say 'btw, I use arch'. People can read it on their face.

Nah it's fun to say it yourself. And it's even better to say it when there's an advantage over all the other distros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
