that clears things up. thanks!

same for my manjaro install lol, it kinda bothers me but there must be some reason

off topic question: what is the purpose of the unallocated 2mb at the start and the end of the drive?

i am indeed aware of “fast startup”. that and hibernation are one of the first things i disable on every windows install.

after removing plymouth, i managed to reduce the boot time to my desired 20 seconds. seems fine for a desktop. cheers!

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?

edit: curiosity got the better of me. after following the steps described here, i have managed to remove the fancy plymouth boot animation and went from 40-ish seconds to 20-ish. good enough for me. cheers!

@DoctorZook@lemmy.world seems to disagree lol

can anyone recommend a decent, non-clickbaity youtube channel for linux news and other relevant videos?

as a recent windows refugee, i love gnome. once i got used to the dock being my “taskbar”, the entire thing just gets out of my way.

any year is the year of linux for you if you’re determined enough to cut the microsoft umbilical cord

manjaro works great for me. some hiccups here and there, but nothing deal breaking.
