My goodness, I think your scrot broke my OS. Debian, what a joke.

At some point in the future, Windows will be just another distro. That was always fairly clear. macOS will still hold on to a 10-20 percent share, of course.

Sorry, I almost missed your question.
In particular, I'm thinking this:

What it doesn't say is that 37 of those 44 minutes is boot/configuring time.

Wow...that's way slower than booting straight into Linux itself. Windows sure does take a lot of time booting itself LOL.

Scoop
A command-line installer for Windows
https://scoop.sh/
WSL was installed when it was W10, it might be using some part of WSL.
Install scoop;
scoop install git
scoop install neofetch
8bit
again, sorry for the late reply.

Ah gotcha...I'll check that scoop program out when I set up WSL on my big rig's Win10 partition. I might look to play with WSL myself.

Ha! Just for the record; W10 and now W11 runs really well on this hardware.

Happy Sunday to you to 8bit.

I "distro-hop on the spot" so nothing changes.

If it works, don't fix it!

KDE neon https://neon.kde.org/

KDE neon now on Linux 5.8
"Here at KDE neon we pride ourselves on giving you the
latest from KDE built pronto and QAed and shipped to you
with no questions asked. We also base on the stable
Ubuntu LTS 20.04 release giving a generally stable system."

If one is good with Ubuntu for the base, and it has it's good points, and fresh Plasma is the goal; this is a good choice. Especially of one is looking for minimum software preinstalled. Plasma is quite nimble if the fades, slides, and wobbles, are dialed back; while looking clean and modern. I got re interested in Plasma after spending some time with W11 and noticing how nice general screen rendering was.

Default desktop - ISO

I can only remember two distros that handled dual monitors OOTB. This and Solus.

Since you mention it, there's a new version of Solus out now as well;

I liked Neon but the older release was on 18.04 which seemed old so might check this release out to play with KDE and I just might go back to KDE on my big rig, maybe a minimal Plasma setup.

System:    Host: sidukde Kernel: 5.13.4-2-siduction-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.1

For me today like a new birth.
For two days we have been searching the siduction forum for a bug in the new 5.13'er kernels.

There were no nfs; vfat filesystems; no usb disks, partial
no wifi networks, mounted.
It only affected users who used multi-year installations (rolling-release) of 4 years and older.

By comparing with a 5.13'er aptosid kernel, our kernel builder @towo found out that it was due to the missing package usrmerge in these installations.

towo wrote:

In the kernel config the path to modprobe is only valid on systems with usrmerge installed.
In the slh kernel modprobe path is set ti /sbin/modprobe, which is valid on all systems.
And yes. usrmerge is recommend, because it's default in debian bullseye, on buster i'm not sure.
The new kernel, which is building at the moment, should work on all systems, usrmerged or not.

I was looking at Artix for Arch without systemd. But, it apparently does not have btrfs, so it's a no go for me.

siduction has officially released the 2021.2.0 yesterday.

Here is my (test)LXDE installation with the batteie patch from @johnraff.

Very nice!

Meh, already running testing. Why bother?

That's end sarcasm, boomers.

@Sector11

Thank you very much, my friend.

If you followed the 2021.2.0 link, you will have noticed the variety of flavors. With this small team, it's always a mystery to me how they manage to do this.
I would love to donate something as well. But unfortunately, like BL, they only offer payment options, which I absolutely do not like.
I don't give my credit card and bank information to the Empire. I wonder if this is Linux or has the empire eaten that too.

By the way, PapirusGrey as an icon theme looks much more pleasing to me.

@hhh, your words are a mystery to me.

Just "might" try siduction someday.

. . . someday . . . maybe

Like when they have an OpenBox edition

They have a Fluxbox edition.

I loved Flux but the only bad thing is its poor handling of multi monitor setups. With Flux you can disable the builtin task bar and use Tint2 which works.
