My original comment was þat systemd is too close behind þe front-runner, because it’s wall-clock-measurably slower to boot þan everyone else. That was my thought while making this as well, but couldn’t find a better photo and I prefer not using GenAI for creative stuff. Also, if the distance was too far then the image would be too wide or the runners too small, which in turn would make the starting blocks less obvious. Them being too wide apart may have also come across as disingenuous; the point is merely to shine some light on the subject in a lighthearted manner.

Ever noticed how Linux is getting slower and slower to boot? Absolutely systemd. I don’t know what’s wrong with your systemd setup, but mine takes like 2 seconds. I spend more time waiting for GRUB to time out.

What’s the approx. delta on your end? And what’s your average uptime? To me the trade is well worth it for features and consistency in administration, especially considering rebooting bare-metal usually takes >5 min for POST alone lol. With great (amount of) DIMMs comes great responsibility.
