Without any flashy marketing campaigns or social media fanfare, Valve rolled out a routine Steam Client update containing a very simple line in the patch notes: “Improved Steam Client startup performance.”

tvs with webOS or macs people turn on usually are sleeping, so that 1 second startup is not really a boot. My nixos laptop turns "on" in about 1 second if it is sleeping...but I get what you are saying, it would be amazing yo have that fast of a cold boot

    We all know that part, but that's the comparison many very casual users would use. I would look uncool describing the difference to someone who told me my OC takes a long time to boot, and to a community of nerds, looking uncool to someone may be terrible. I'm sure this doesn't impact everyone, but I understand the super short boot dream.
