[ snip ] 10 seconds from power on to user interface for desktops, will meaningfully improve the user experience, but not for servers.It's a false dilemma only if you're thinking about traditional physical servers. Consider: 1) What if you're spinning up several thousand Hadoop nodes on AWS or GCE so that you can do some sort of "big data" operation. 2) What if PewDiePie just mentioned one of your products in a video and you need to quickly scale up the number of backend servers to handle the load. I'm sure that there are many other scenarios that I could devise where a fast "server" boot time was important.
I will stipulate this use case. I will counter with "you wouldn't be running a "real" distro in that case anyway; you'd be running something super trimmed down, and possibly custom built, or based on something like CoreOS, that only does one job. Well. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
