Kids these days will never know the frustration of booting a PC on an ancient HDD. I'd turn on my laptop, go do something else for 3 minutes, log in, go do something else for everything to wake up, then I can start using it.
This was how my relatively modern laptop with an HDD ran when it had Windows 10 (which it came with). The main difference was that it was closer to 5-10 minutes.
I switched to Linux and the problem went away. Funny how that works.
