Does your desktop have more RAM, or faster RAM? If so, the training step can take much longer. In your desktop’s BIOS look for a setting called “Memory Context Restore” and turn it on. That can dramatically speed up boot times.
Even with turning that on, it seems that many newish motherboards will still sit and putz around for quite some time before finally handing things off to the OS. My guess is there’s little push for speedy boot times (I haven’t really seen this as something that shows up in reviews), so the hardware manufacturers don’t really bother with optimizing for it.

Oh wow that’s so much better!

That setting is no joke, I was pissed I didn’t enable it sooner
My machine went from 45+ seconds to 13 for boot
Yes to both. I’ll take a look for that setting, thanks!
