no it has a tiny ssd, but every time windows takes about 30 min to 2 hours to start because it’s configuring and updating and rebooting before i get to even log in. kubuntu starts in a minute but i have to go through a blindingly white bios menu to start it and then it can’t suspend or even shutdown properly…
Yikes, less than 60 GB? I’m betting you are practically out of disk space and/or you don’t have enough memory. What’s the model laptop?
If you feel really froggy, post the memory configuration too: number of sticks and size.
I realize it’s a Linux conversation, but some people need Windows-only tools. Case in point: there is no way I’m updating insulin pump firmware via a compatibility layer
i constantly have to troubleshoot my linux computers, but still less than my windows laptop, which is a pain to even boot up
Is your Windows laptop still running a spinning disk? Putting a SSD in there is a game changer.
