I use Linux at home and Windows professionally:

- Booting my PC until login takes approx 10s for Linux and 60-120s for Windows. Logging in takes another 1s for Linux (i3wm) or 60-120s for Windows. In Windows, I often need to manually connect to my local wifi after logging in.

- Accessing a local file (as in git status, or opening a file in emacs) while having VPN turned off takes <1s in Linux and somewhere between 10-30s in Windows.

- Windows forces me to stop using all Office products during Office updates

- After approx 50% of all Windows updates, Windows gives me nag messages until I restart my computer

I use emacs as editor in both scenarios. Compilation and running programs is subjectively similarly fast.
