    Wow, one of the OG old school meme AND used correctly… Haven’t seen one of these in a long time.

    I will tap my keyboard to wake up the computer/monitor, be able to type in the password, and by the time my monitor wakes up I’m ready to go. I mean, I’ve been ready to go for the past 4 seconds, but take your time and wake up, monitor.

      Just wait until that one time you PC doesn’t lock properly and you type your password into a group chat.

        I’m sure theres a home assistant automation you could do to wake your PC on a motion sensor, or when you get home.

          My kitchen smoke detector also picks up farts, I can probably rig something up to wake the PC too.

              I’m not against making it an open standard but only if it includes some balanced privacy features. I don’t want people to be able to track me by my fart signature but at the same time it would be nice to use it as biometrics for signing into websites with passkeys.

    My experience has been that the more high-end my computer is, the slower it starts. At least for the BIOS, Windows has loaded very quickly since SSDs (Got my first one around 12 years ago).

    Fancy motherboards, memory training, it’s a bit sad that a 10 year old budget laptop can get to Windows quicker. Even though I don’t really care about the extra seconds of course.

    Hell, my new work laptop is a ThinkPad and Lenovo had issues with their BIOS for the entire year. Startup can take over a minute for that crap, despite being a $3000 machine.

      Laptops tend to have a minimized/limited uefi implementation that initializes and boot the bootloader faster.

    I need to upgrade displays badly. Currently have 2x 21" dell 1080p panels that have been good workhorses but… ugh. Getting old.

    I really don’t want to go 2x 4k, but multiple monitors are a must… not really liking curved displays, can anyone suggest decent, cheap, 1440p displays w/ hdr, decent refresh and color qual?

    I’m not sure what’s up with mine, but it takes like a full 20-30 seconds to get past POST and then another 3 seconds from there to fully boot windows.

          I also have a zen4 cpu.

          The 30 second boots are memory training. The motherboard is basically training itself on how the DDR5 memory modules respond on every signal wire and it can be inordinately slow depending in memory amount. For whatever reason, AMD DDR5 systems are slower at it than comparable Intel DDR5 systems.

          Update your BIOS to the latest version then enabled “Memory Context Restore”. The bios will then save the last training results and stop taking 30 seconds to start up.

    Don’t know why but i had a bug (don’t know if i still do) on Linux, if i don’t turn on the monitor fast enough, it will never pick up the video signal until i start a session or restart the pc. It drove me crazy sometimes.

      Have you tried windows? It’s similar to linux but it works, you’ll get the hang of it real quick

        Is it a rolling distro or LTS? How many packages in the official repo? How easy is it to use? What desktop environment does it install by default? Does it package a recent Plasma? Oh and I’m assuming it’s systemd right?
