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.

linux boot times (lemmy.world)

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?

thanks, the pic is very clear and easily digestible. it seems that plymouth-quit-wait.service takes the longest (~23s). if i understand correctly, plymouth is essentially just some boot animation. is it a good idea to remove/disable/skip it?

I'm happy it worked out well!

Yes, Plymoith is just the splash screen, you can try disabling it and seeing if it helps
