If it took that long, then you might've accidentally installed your os on a harddrive

    I wish.

    It was the same Samsung 970 NVME that I'm using right now lol.

    Windows 8 on a hard drive was 1000x worse. I made the mistake of upgrading my laptop back in the day from 7 to 8, and it would just sit at 100% disk IO at idle.

    But just in case, on the SSD it actually would take anywhere from several seconds to a full 15 before the start menu decided to load.

    XFCE, WF-Shell, KDE, and the many dmenu clones are all instant.
