But they also have nothing to do with moment to moment performance. And I would argue that people, generally, aren’t pulling out a steam deck or a 1000 USD xbox to play a quick hand of Balatro while in line at the bank. I love that waking up my bazzite box under my TV actually takes less time than the nvidia shield I watch youtube on. I am not going to pretend that there is a meaningful difference between a 20 second boot and a 2 minute boot if I am sitting down to get angry at Silksong again. Same with my Steam Deck where I usually push the power button and then put the case back in my bag on a plane or off to the side while I get cozy at home.
Its similar to the initial OS install. I will never stop being enraged when I have to deal with cortana and all that bullshit to install windows on a box. I positively love that most Linux distros are like 3 clicks and then a two minute wait if I am not doing weird partition shenanigans. But that is more a plus to the OS and not a reason I would upend my digital existence.
