    A modern computer will restart and be up and running again within like 20 seconds. This just gives off i aM vErY sMaRt vibes.

      Computers actually got slower to boot after DDR5. It was true that ultrafast boot would boot in something like 5 seconds from post, now auto memory timings are harder to get right and so require more iterations to achieve stability.

      Sure, if you’re not multitasking and running uninterruptible or PITA-to-get-going-again processes or are just in a good flow where it’ll take way more than 20 seconds to reopen all the programs you had running and breaks it

      I had to update a Chromebook-like machine that was running Windows not to long ago. It was excruciating. The restart progress bar on one update after reboot took ~30 minutes to reach 3%.

      Keep in mind that the computer is unusable during this time, and all it takes is one poweroff to brick the machine. Ask me how I know :) . I had to leave it plugged in overnight to finish.

      If this comment is referring to Windows reboots after update, I will call it confidently incorrect.
