Hello,

  Please, do some homework before asking all these questions. Via voice is 
no longer continued/supported and besides it's proprietary. Gnopernicus is 
also dead and planted. No there are no accessible games. Boot time depends 
on the hardware, and what distro you get.

Please from now on do some googling, it is how I learned everything.
