1 day agoSo I checked the specs, I misremembered. The CPU in the systems I’m using is a Pentium G630 @2.7 GHz with 4gb of ddr3. Benchmarks put that at about double the Celeron N3060 in performance. I’m also booting from an internal SATA SSD.
I think the most limiting factor for you is the live boot, it is pretty much always slower to boot from a live image than from an install.
Fast storage is relative. It works flawlessly on a budget SATA SSD from like 10 years ago. It would probably have a 1-2 minute load time on a SATA spinning disk, but I have not used a system with a spinning disk boot drive in years.
