I’ve been working on my boot time lately, but I realize I really don’t have a good handle on what it should be. I am hoping some of you will share yours so we can all get a feel for it. I’m including some HW specs here also because I’ve heard it can be relevant:

64GB RAM, 2 x 2 TB NVME:

Startup finished in 9.922s (firmware) + 1.151s (loader) + 3.506s (kernel) + 4.006s (userspace) = 18.586s graphical.target reached after 4.003s in userspace.

Edited to add boot time detail

    1. a few minutes. Usually I expect 2, claim 5, but when updating gitlab or something equally bloated I’ll need 7-10 for the patch-and-bounce.

    2. no one cares whether it takes a minute extra while you’re getting coffee or when it’s in the middle of the night. The #1 selling feature of systemd is thus moot and it’s truly just a piece of hot garbage.
