Yeah, especially on an older system that makes a huge difference. Less 
so on a faster one ... I've had both spinning rust and SSD in the Dells 
and have found when you get up into the i7 range, the system itself is 
fast enough that it shrinks the data transfer difference, having 
processed it faster. Disk difference shouldn't be more than about 2x-4x 
slower, not 10x-20x slower.

Anyway, Fedora is on a slightly faster system with twice the RAM, but on 
spinning rust (however a very fast laptop drive). But it's done all the 
disk read by the time it shows a desktop ... the desktop just isn't 
usable for a while, because it's still thinking.

Nope, this is just being slow. Plus lagged down by Discover insisting on 
going and checking for updates before you have a usable desktop. Need to 
find where to turn that off. Discovered you CAN turn that off in Win11, 
and did so, take that Microsoft.
