The post above refers to Win10, which is gigantic, as is 11, I see 11
in current builds as merely the natural progression of bloat by M$.
So, given that one has to run up to date builds of either version, the
system requirements are in reality the same, 1 GHz 2-core 8th gen in
Intel terms, 4 GB RAM, realistically a SATA SSD is required for
adequate performance, NVMe preferred.

So, yeah, Linux will definitely boot faster on something that *isn't*
maximized for performance today, which is PCI-e-based NVMe.

Correct.
