my windows install used to boot in 20 seconds - from power button press to desktop. my manjaro install takes over twice as much at about 45 seconds. what are the typical ways to reduce boot times on linux? where should i start?

    My guess is something is hanging or not configured correctly. Like a mount or a networking device or something. It will sit there and retry a bunch before moving on.

    PopOS lets me hit escape during the boot process and see a live view of whats happening. I don’t know if that exists on Manjaro. Otherwise, you can look at /var/log/boot.log to see if something’s failed (it also might save in boot.log.1, boot.log.2, etc).

    @Kruemel@[email protected] 's advice seems cool but I’ve never tried that before.
