I am not quite ready to switch to a GNU/Linux yet, but I have live booted Linux Mint Xfce yesterday, with most things working, but much worse for launching times, etc. Would it be any different if I installed it on my eMMC drive? Since they are both based on NAND flash memory, I am clueless about it.

    this may very well be the case. I can not say for sure, my guess is that most cpus should be able to do something like 200mb/s zstd(3) uncompress, but you can try to benchmark uncompress speeds (there is also a zstd benchmark command), and if it is statistically significantly lower than your storage (use hdparam/dd to benchmark them), then it is indeed your cpu.
