It takes less time to boot Linux in Chrome on my laptop than it takes Reddit to load a discussion on my phone. That's pretty amazing. Not sure which is more amazing: How slow Reddit mobile is or how fast Linux boots in JS.

The old Reddit .compact page loads very fast : https://reddit.com/r/.compact

Don't use the mobile web view! It sucks!

To boot Linux you formally need just the kernel image and a statically compiled busybox executable. This are only 2-3 MB. The boot process can be optimized as well for such a tiny system. You don't need long and complex boot scripts. Just start the kernel and then start directly busybox und you are done.

Windows 2000 takes much longer to boot.

Or try muLinux that boots on a single floppy
