I opened the article expecting to see some bootchart graphs comparisons. No dice.

Then install pure desktop package without a ton of $hitty plugins and childish effects, akonadi, avahi, indexers etc..

So you gotta curate! Even on desktops: does the new mobo you're eyeing only have a Marvell chip as its ethernet NIC? You know it's gonna be trouble under Linux. So pick the one with the Intel chip. Sucks, but what are you going to do? Borderlands 2's new DLC isn't Linux native even though Borderlands 2 now is. SUCKS, but what. Are. You. Gonna. Do. Can't have everything. Not yet. Not this century. Next one, maybe.Last edited by josh_walrath; 16 September 2019, 06:55 PM.

Anyway seems funny that suddenly everyone cares about boot time. Like I said few days ago, I don't think the Linux boot time is that big of a problem, the firmware UEFI initialization takes a lot longer on many systems.
TL;DR - Shaving 2.7s off boot time is pure e-peen waving in the first place, and it's even more irrelevant when bad startup service settings are adding literally 10x that to the system.

2016 i5-6500 Skylake system with SSD for boot. 7 seconds to reach the DisplayManager(SSDM) iirc, about 5-6 seconds to reach usable Plasma desktop from there(last timed via stopwatch and systemd-analyze from power on back in 2017). Kernel loads in ~650ms and userspace ~450ms, not much time in bootloader(50ms?) bulk is from the UEFI I think. Also on Manjaro.

Replacing firmware is an option too. I use Coreboot with a GRUB payload to drive down my boot times even further than they were. If your hardware is compatible, consider giving it a try.
