Does the fact that having a two OS installed in a single computer makes it slower for Mint to startup than Windows? (but Windows is still faster in starting up in this laptop) Note that I have already turned off several Startup Application to significantly reduce the startup time. This is not quite a hassle for me, but I just want to know if there is anything I can do to make it faster than Windows (I have this irrational need to prove myself that Mint is faster than Windows, I don't know). Now, I noticed that it starting up in Windows is much faster than starting up in Linux, which in my own estimation is probably 20 seconds faster than Windows.

I actually like Mint than Windows because you can customize the themes, and it has a lower memory usage compared to Windows (I have compared the data from Mint's System Monitor and Windows's Task Manager), and I really want to try something new, not to mention that I have read a lot of articles around the internet mentions that Linux distros are better in terms of privacy issues compared to Windows. To compare it using my ' fairly old' laptop, I have installed Windalongside with the recent Linux Mint Cinnamon release available. Hi there, I am just a newbie here switching from Windows to Mint without any prior background to any Linux distros.Īside from wanting to switch to Linux so that I could somehow learn new things in life (lol), I was hoping to see for myself if Mint is actually faster and smoother than Windows 10.
