Faster boot tips for linux? (lemmy.world)

What are your tips for faster boots? My system seems to hang a bit at POST until it boots into Mint. Right after post I'll get a blinking cursor for about a full minute until it boots in. All ssd, so I know it's something I must have done wrong. It's also a 14 year old processor (amd fx be 8 core, rx580), but win### booted faster on it.

I think that's really an oversimplification--it really all depends. Systems won't boot in under 20 seconds under all circumstances, and just because your system takes a while to boot doesn't necessarily indicate there's an issue.

But either way, systemd-analize blame will help you track down some possible issues and hopefully correct them.

Another thing you can try if you're running Gnome, is to edit the application.desktop file in your system application launch folder and add a startup delay X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=60 to some non-critical applications that you still want to run at startup. This will ensure that not everything tries to star at once, but you still get all your helpful apps to run at startup.
