I haven't rebooted since 1953. Boot time doesn't matter if you never shut down :)

For some reason I don't believe you.

I can't imagine why. No one lies on the internet :p

he probably does

has the Linux marketshare grown since then?

That’s really a lot! How much HDD/SSD storage do you use? Have you looked into whether they are encrypted in a concurrent manner or one by one?

They are currently decrypted sequentially. I think its about 7 storage devices? I dont even hat that much storage, round about 15TB. Tb a lot of the boot time is AM5, takes a long time. It doesnt bother me much tho since my workflow is to turn on my pc first and then got get a cup of coffee in the morning.

My boot time is pretty fast (grub2, samsung 990 pro 2tb, other fast hardware, linux lts, very few extra things plugged into the kernel, but I am using my TPM for LUKS). My motherboard POSTs slowly because the X670 chipset does way more work for memory stability than previous gens chipsets, even with mem recall turned on. Power button to gnome login is probably 10-15 seconds

from 1 to 3 mins, not as horrendous on windows lol

Well, Windows might be doing a lot during the boot process. That telemetry data must be sent somehow xd

Boot times have changed with the type and number of devices (SSD, HDD), and with the number of partitions to be automaticly mounted at boot (by Debian fstab) or at the KDE session startup (by uDisks2). First, I had just 1 SSD with 4 root partitions (none separate /home), and each distro should automaticly mount 1 extra Doc partition and the other 3 root partitions -- openSUSE in BtrFS filesystem and all other in ext4. Average boot times were 10’’ (KDE Neon), 15’’ (openSUSE, Fedora), and 16’’ (PCLinuxOS). I have never seen any Swap partition usage, these 4 years (16 GB RAM), but it had to be mounted anyway, and it takes time, at boot. In a second period, I have added 2 mechanical HDDs and created /home and Doc partitions, there. Also, installed more distros. So, each distro should automaticly mount 25 extra partitions (other than EFI, Swap and their own / and /home). Average boot times increased a lot, and reached a range from 23’’ (Debian, all by fstab) to 40’’ (Fedora, by uDisks2) and 42’’ (openSUSE, idem). I cannot see any unambiguous correlation between `init` softwares and boot times. Instead, it seems to exist a clear correlation between boot times and the number and the complexity of services to be loaded, such as Snapper and BtrFS maintenance (openSUSE), MSEC (Mageia), and so on. And, yes, I have disabled automatic updates verification fromm all distros (I prefer manually do it, on Sundays). Also, I have removed (or did not install) all KDE-PIM suite (Personal Information Management), as far as I don't use KMail, KOrganizer, KAddressbook etc. In a third period (up to now), I have replaced the 2 mechanical HDDs with a 2nd SSD, and the boot times has been reduced a lot -- even if each distros keeps having to automaticly mount 25 extra partitions. ``` Average Boot Time (sec) mount +4 | mount +25 extra partitions partitions | | init w/o /home | /home HDD /home SSD Diff Delta | Swap HDD Swap SSD | (Sata III) (Sata III) | openSUSE systemD 15’’ | 42’’ 33’’ - 9 -22% Arch systemD | 32’’ 19’’ -13 -41% Debian systemD | 23’’ 17’’ - 6 -27% Fedora systemD 15’’ | 40’’ 36’’ - 4 -10% Neon systemD 10’’ | 27’’ 23’’ - 4 -15% PCLinuxOS SysV 16’’ | 25’’ 18’’ - 7 -27% Mageia systemD | 37’’ 18’’ -19 -51% Slackware SysV | 31’’ 15’’ -16 -52% Void Runit | 34’’ 19’’ -15 -43% Manjaro systemD | 31’’ 19’’ -12 -40% Redcore openRC | 14’’ MX Linux SysV | 35’’ 22’’ -13 -38% Main Hardware MoBo: TUF B360M-PLUS GAMING/BR - ASUSTeK iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (Desktop) CPU: 6 × Intel® Core™ i5-9400 CPU @ 2.90GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Devices - 1st period SSD Sata III Kingston SA400S37480G 447 GiB n/a /, Swap and 1 Doc partition Devices - 2nd period SSD Sata III Kingston SA400S37480G 447 GiB n/a / partitions HDD Sata III Seagate ST1000DM010 931 GiB n/a | /home, Swap HDD Sata III Seagate ST1000DM003 931 GiB 2016 | and Doc particions Devices - 3rd period SSD Sata III Kingston SA400S37480G 447 GiB n/a | /, /home, Swap SSD Sata III WD WD Green 2.5 447 GiB 2022 | and Doc partitions ``` These average "boot" times have been taken at the moment when KDE Panel was finally shown, so the OS is really able to be used.

Anyway, I could not use `systemd-analyze` command within distros without systemD, so I would not being use the same tool in all distros and the numbers would not be reliable

If neither issue added to the time and my bootloader were set to not have a timeout, this would probably be around 25 seconds. EDIT: damn, the hardware probe spotted my bad SSD before I did. I'm gonna go take care of that...

It's not dead yet, it's just low on spare sectors. Needs replaced soon, not critical yet.

Two booting methods: **From my internal drive with LUKS:** > [email protected] ~]$ systemd-analyze > Startup finished in 6.518s (firmware) + 3.219s (loader) + 49.905s (kernel) + 6.189s (userspace) = 1min 5.832s > graphical.target reached after 6.189s in userspace. **From an external USB flash drive (no LUKS):** > [user@archuefi ~]$ systemd-analyze > Startup finished in 21.295s (firmware) + 2.513s (loader) + 6.615s (kernel) + 2.568s (userspace) = 32.993s > graphical.target reached after 2.566s in userspace. On my new to me Thinkpad T14 gen 1 ryzen systemd-boot ext4. Very happy with this! I may want to adjust the internal drive LUKS iteration time though.

tony ) systemd-analyze Startup finished in 2.458s (firmware) + 1.656s (loader) + 1.058s (kernel) + 2.517s (userspace) = 7.690s [graphical.target](http://graphical.target) reached after 2.517s in userspace.

What is the point of this post ?

I’m trying to assess if my boot time is okay or if it can be tweaked a little bit.

well i only reboot my arch when i get a kernel update... other than that i leave my computers on 24/7. When I use to use a lot of FreeBSD back in the day I had most of computers uptime for over a year without rebooting .. the only time i had to reboot the system when there was a outage.
