Am I going crazy or something? Gimp loads in under 5 seconds on windows for me, and that's with an absurd amount of crap (unity, blender, a vm, and 400+ browser tabs across 5 browsers) running in the background.
Gimp loads in 500ms for me, on linux running on a mid-range SSD-using laptop.
Sounds like you just have a God pc lol
Meh? It's a "thin-and-light" gaming laptop, so it's quite decent, but idk if that counts as 'godly'.
Tbf they did say 'sounds like'
and it does sound like it, if you're casually running all of that and still booting up gimp
Windows cheats with scheduler. When foreground app uses a lot of CPU or IO, background apps basically stop running.
