Seriously, weekly I restart the laptop to clear out the cache and ram and whatnot and from restart to launch then opening chrome it's like a hot minute tops. Meanwhile back on my old hdd laptop a restart was a 10-15 min affair.

Moore's Law!

It's pretty wild to be reminded. I got my first SSD in like 2017 but since Arch (btw) & co. runs "acceptably" on hard drives I still run it sometimes.

On a Phenom II X6 with 12gb ram, Cachyos is a 35-second boot on a basic dram-less SSD. Cachy booting from a sata hard drive in that same system is 3 minutes 30 seconds. Debian based distros take about 5min.
