Yeah, that was the reason holding me back. It was the boot up time.
You kid and aren't wrong, but this was a huge metric when I was first getting into Linux. I remember seeing it prodominantly posted on Ubuntu's site ... I wonder which version... I think 4 or 6?
Your local power plant approves of this mesaage!
The more interesting story here is that in 2023, FreeBSD was still using bubblesort. They made it go 100 times faster than a really slow thing, and we've known it's slow for a long time.
