@itsfoss >>Boot from a full shutdown tied at 23 seconds for Windows and 24 seconds for Fedora, too close to call. Restarting did not. Fedora came back in 27 seconds, median; Windows took 61 seconds.<<
Just asking out of curiosity about that discrepancy between the boot-up and the reboot times: How did you make Windows fully shut down?
@elgregor @itsfoss Could be. But I als see a certain chance that they just hit shut down in the start menu. This wouldn't be a real shutdown but prepare a fastboot for the next startup. Rebooting would perform a real shutdown. Additionally, there are a few non-obvious tricks to make Windows shut down properly.
