    Windows 10 - 3 seconds boot and 3 seconds shut down
    It does not hibernate for me. it shuts down completely.

    Arch Linux - 3 seconds boot and 3 seconds shut down

    Linux shuts down just fine for me on my machine. Faster than startup, which only takes about ten seconds.

    My Windows 10 VM starts up in about 7 or 8 seconds, but takes about 20 seconds to shutdown.

    People who say that Windows starts fast either have never used windows or have only tried booting a freshly installed windows xp on a new rig.

    Sure, though for my purposes, I'm happy I don't have to worry about it at all, as I don't have Windows on anything but a VM.

    @dontbeevil every software cab run slow.
    Linux has extremely high potential to run slowly due to it's ability to be changed by the user.
    Even a wrong config and a heavy GUI will make it slow AF.

    The point is - every program can act slowly, but some programs can't run fast when not fresh and clean. Windows is one of those. It's a design thing. Every application makes the whole OS slower. So a freshly installed OS on a gaming rig on an SSD will boot in seconds. Use it for two years and it will boot in 20, 30 and more.

    Windows: cold to fully up in ~45 seconds, including longer bios delays (it amuses me that my system boots to a drive that isn't in the boot list). Powers off in ~20 seconds. I haven't reinstalled Win7 in three to four years.

    Linux (mint+kde): cold to up in 25 seconds, including bios delays. Powers off in 5 sec.
