Slow Boot Time / Speed it up [SOLVED]
Hello,
My boot time feels really slow and I would like to speed it up.
It seems like my disc is taking up the most time (is my disk just slow?), I think that there are also services that are taking up their full time outs before moving onto the next process. How do I cull these timeout, either by resolving whatever issue their having or reducing there their time out.
Here are some logs that might help? My bootloader is GRUB, also im posting my MBR partition table.
Ive read theres not a big difference in using system-d boot, and Im not opposed to using it but it was a pain installing 3 os on a MBR table and Id rather not mess with it if at all possible.
I use KDE Plasma and have removed every unnecessary app. But I think I remember it being slow to boot before I added a desktop environment, its been a while.
I'm using this guide off of the wiki
