I have switches that boot Debian (on the control plane) that cost about £10,000 each. I've got similarly priced HPE servers that take around five minutes to tickle their fans, find their storage etc and generally piss around, not to mention Dell, IBM and Fujitsu.
Your PC/laptop is a thing and it takes a certain amount of time to startup. When the BIOS/UEFI hands over to Linux it will boot rather quickly unless you stop it or something is wrong. Do you have a piece of hardware that takes ages to startup? Systemd has a utility to profile and graph the boot sequence by time. It will literally tell you what is happening.
