I remember that too! My crappy old computer. I bought the cheapest SSD they had and it was so much faster.

BTW I truly hope your Windows takes 5min for a cold boot, and not your Linux, because that would mean there’s something wrong with it or the hardware.
My work laptop is only allowed windows 11 [*] At least I wait for it on company time.
You think I didn’t?
