On Linux, I can pull up the system menu, type in a few letters of what I want to launch, and hit enter to get it started in less than 2 seconds, without having to open or switch windows to a terminal. Done right, there’s nothing wrong with menus.

That’s what I do in Windows, but I hit the Windows key instead of Enter

Yeah but as per the post, windows menu is taking forever to open…
On specific systems/installs. That isn’t the norm.
For me, the Windows key stroke can often be part of the next few letters I’m searching for, and my machine is a mid-range (at-best) build from 2020.
And that was before I installed an app that gets rid of most of the junk in the Start menu, turning into just a Search field with a power button! Lol
on linux, I can just start typing what I want to launch. No menu needed.
Well you have to be typing it somewhere
As long as I am not actively using a window thats capturing input, it can be anywhere.
On my Linux PC, it’s KDE that enables that. Is awesome. YMMV
This is the thing - with advanced systems, which they should all be now, context can drive behavior.
