I’m fine with variations as long as they’re clearly marked so people can compare, like what @51lieal did with SSD-4k.
In fact, it’s nice to see this topic slowly morph into a thread on how to min-max qube startup times. I think as Qubes evolves, this metric will become increasingly important, since the logical conclusion of its compartmentalization-via-VM approach to security is to have a fresh VM for every little task–so how quickly a computer can spin up a new instance will be key. Even without this extreme, the usability of Qubes (as your daily driver at least) is strongly connected to how fast your computer can spin up VMs.
So a big thank you to all who have contributed so far–please keep at it! I’d contribute if I had anything to give, but this isn’t my field
