From what I've seen, Windows 10 is the fastest. Microsoft really has high speed booting down to a science. I think they beat everyone at that. Fedora seems quite a bit faster than Ubuntu, but both are very slow compared to Windows 10 on the same hardware.
Sadly, just a place where Windows kicks butt over any Linux that I've seen. Not the biggest deal, but certainly a place where Fedora or Ubuntu could improve.
That is a bit frustrating considering the 'push' for getting away from MS and all of it's applications. I do know that I can improve performance some by putting in a SSD drive over the 7200RPM (SR) that's in it now. and I will at some point. Working on the priority list first.
5 minutes??? God, is your drive failing I wonder...
An SSD will get it down substantially. I want to say my Samsung 850 Pro boots Fedora nearly as fast as Windows 10; they are seconds apart, and that is around 5-15 seconds.
860 Pros came out not too long ago. Here's a 512GB if you can fit it in the budget; 256GB is cheaper of course.
Thanks for the link. That is definitely in a good price range.
Worth noting that I've used many other high end SSDs (Plextor, Intel, etc). Samsung manufacturers their own NAND, controller; everything, top to bottom. Theirs absolutely fly compared to any others I've used. For consumer use of course, not infrastructure.

@dyasny Yeah your right, its an illusion. Windows is not starting at a completely shut down point so it has way less to go until the desktop is usable again.

that's sleep mode, that's a little different.

@jmoore bringing linux out of sleep or suspend is also much faster

actually - even "shutdown" has a different type of state it normally goes into making bootup much faster than normal. If you want a full shutdown in Windows 10
shutdown /s /f /t 0or hold the shift key down while clicking shutdown from the start menu.

@scottalanmiller I wasn't referring to sleep mode. Windows use to have varying degrees of shutdown, I'm pretty sure it still does.
