My current Linux laptop (System76 darter pro 8, Ubuntu jammy, 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1240P, UEFI firmware) boots to a login screen pretty snappily, less than a minute, and from there it's up to me how quickly I type my password. I get a usable system very shortly thereafter because Window Maker is pretty lean. Getting a system back from a suspend-to-disk is pretty instantaneous.



Atom n270, 1GB of RAM Alpine Linux with Slim (wmaker login theme) and cwm with xsetroot matching a purple theme from current wmaker. It flies.

I have a UXTerm based setup with TMUX, lynx, bitlbee, nsxiv, mocp, MPV, ffmpeg, sox, frotz, slashem, mednafen...

No lag except for goverment pages with JS, where I have to briefly launch luakit, but I have a global hosts file adblocking everything.
