also true for boot (not from suspended state), in my experience.
windows: wait, let me display the windows logo for 10 seconds, then show a spinny circle, then show the lock screen, then when you try to enter your password, it loads your user profile for another 5 minutes before it shows your desktop icons
linux: click the power button -> 1.5 seconds later i see the lock screen. enter password and it's just there.
Back when i still had windows as a second boot option, it was soooo annoyingly slow to boot (like 3 minutes or so). I thought it's because I installed it on a HDD, not SSD (and that was indeed part of the reason). One day when my internet broke though, I realized it was actually super fast to boot suddenly. It just spent half the time downloading stuff from the internet before, during boot. From then on I just pulled the ethernet cable before booting windows. Fucking joke of an operating system
I've found it to be very dependent on the distro and the hardware it's running on. Back when I was playing around with distros I definitely tried some that felt like you snapped your fingers and had a desktop. But I settled on Fedora and that takes longer to boot for me than Windows. Not that I mind, 30 seconds once a week or so just isn't important to me.
Are you perhaps on Wifi? I noticed that Fedora is has configured Systemd to wait for online network before continuing starting the login services.
