Meanwhile, my work Windows laptop is significantly slower to wake up now as I’m forced to hibernate it thanks to them removing S3 sleep in favor of the modern standby shit.
I remember when windows used to brag about incredibly fast boot times.
Now, my 5 yo gaming PC takes about 30 seconds to wake up to the password screen. While my Linux laptop takes 15 seconds to go from cold start to desktop.
@Sustolic@VitoRobles 15 years ago initng in linuxmint was doing magic; booting system to gnome2 desktop in 3 seconds from grub. On PCs with intel motherboard this was about 4 seconds from poweron. And moreover, this was on HDD.
Now all systems are bloated and cannot boot in 3 seconds even on SSD
My 10yo gaming PC is probably “faster” to boot because it is set up to auto logon without password promt so it boots straight to desktop without any interruptions while my Linux laptop has pre-boot-authentication and then normal login. But between these two password promts is basically no time at all
Maybe try the kernel parameter amd_iommu=off if you have an AMD CPU (and you’re talking about Linux and not Windows). I had the same problem and this fixed it for me.
But by the time the lid is up to reach the power button, it’s already out of sleep and operational…

For me I can reach the windows desktop in around 14 or 15 seconds (auto login), for most people the biggest bottleneck is a slow bios.
Linux and windows normally have very similar boot times at least on my hardware.

Lucky you! Mine just crashes when I try to enter Sleep mode leaving both screens on and frozen, and nothing at all working.
