Pinebook Pro boots in about 10s to DE and that's RK3399. Pretty sure RK3588 can boot even faster, considering the advantage of PCIe/nvme storage that can run at > 3GiB/s. Software load times stop being a constraint at those speeds.
My Orange Pi 5 Plus boots to sway+firefox already open in about 15s and a lot of it is waiting for net being online.
