also true for boot (not from suspended state), in my experience.
windows: wait, let me display the windows logo for 10 seconds, then show a spinny circle, then show the lock screen, then when you try to enter your password, it loads your user profile for another 5 minutes before it shows your desktop icons
linux: click the power button -> 1.5 seconds later i see the lock screen. enter password and it’s just there.
I’ve found it to be very dependent on the distro and the hardware it’s running on. Back when I was playing around with distros I definitely tried some that felt like you snapped your fingers and had a desktop. But I settled on Fedora and that takes longer to boot for me than Windows. Not that I mind, 30 seconds once a week or so just isn’t important to me.
No, this is on a wired machine. I have another one on wireless also running Fedora and I’d say that one is slower to boot, however it’s also on a Ryzen 3600 where my main PC is a 5700X so that’s kinda expected anyway.
Back when i still had windows as a second boot option, it was soooo annoyingly slow to boot (like 3 minutes or so). I thought it’s because I installed it on a HDD, not SSD (and that was indeed part of the reason). One day when my internet broke though, I realized it was actually super fast to boot suddenly. It just spent half the time downloading stuff from the internet before, during boot.
From then on I just pulled the ethernet cable before booting windows. Fucking joke of an operating system

Are you perhaps on Wifi? I noticed that Fedora is has configured Systemd to wait for online network before continuing starting the login services.
