From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So I checked the specs, I misremembered. The CPU in the systems I'm using is a Pentium G630 @2.7 GHz with 4gb of ddr3. Benchmarks put that at about double the Celeron N3060 in performance. I'm also booting from an internal SATA SSD.
I think the most limiting factor for you is the live boot, it is pretty much always slower to boot from a live image than from an install.
yeah any boot from USB will be slow
Yes, but it does show a bottleneck from KDE's side, there. It means you'll need fast storage.
Fast storage is relative. It works flawlessly on a budget SATA SSD from like 10 years ago. It would probably have a 1-2 minute load time on a SATA spinning disk, but I have not used a system with a spinning disk boot drive in years.
