what is a good distro that boots really quickly? My current system takes a long time and its not like i'm impatient, but my windows computer boots in about 12 seconds so the difference between both systems startles me. My current system does this: >boots bios (can't seem to get any linux working with UEFI) >goes through grub, arbritary 10 second wait as it asks me which OS to boot when I only have one installed >lock screen / password takes a good 30 seconds to load its shitty UI >takes 10 seconds to check my password and pass me through to the desktop environment I spend too much time around computers to be tinkering with some OS that takes a good 3-4 hours to set up, it would just do my head in. Just need a simple, ready to go distro that skips grub, only needs my luks password to boot up (of course i would have a sudo password but using the decryption pass should be enough to boot and let me access my DE), and doesn't take 40 odd seconds to load the desktop environment.
>inb4 get an SSD my boot drive is an SSD, but linux surely doesn't want to treat it like one. I get better boot times on my windows computer's HDD than i get on linux with SS.
>I spend too much time around computers to be tinkering with some OS that takes a good 3-4 hours to set up easy-arch-install derivatives install too much bloat that slows the system startup to a halt. I know from my days of being an arch-fag.

Your current distro is probably using systemd and if that's the case then I advice you to run systemd-analyze blame and look at the various things that are started at bootup and how long those things take. There's a lot of services you really do not need which can be disabled. There's also some corners you can cut depending on your machine, if it's a desktop then you really don't need NetworkManager and related "services", just use the network service with a fixed IP/gateway config instead.

it's time to upgrade. 486 are a thing of the past.
Look up how to change grub settings, it's a simple value in a file

Windows LTSC. Literary takes less than 10 seconds off my NVMe drive and this is with "Fast Startup" disabled and to a usable desktop with the browser open.

Install Debian (all default) on a half decent hard drive and see. There's a command you can put in grub.cfg to make it timeout immediately but I can't remember.
In my experience GNU/Linux OS's boot a lot, lot faster than Windows. Something wrong with your installation.
