optimized boot

is it a meme? is doing something like this:

efibootmgr --create --disk insertblock --part 1 --label arch --loader /vmlinuz-linux \
--unicode "root=UUID=$(lsblk -dno UUID insertroot) fsck.mode=skip quiet loglevel=3 rd.udev.log_level=3 \
libahci.ignore_sss=1 systemd.show_status=auto initrd=\\booster-linux.img"

and using booster, too much effort?

Re: optimized boot

You seem to have a very neat intentions to optimize everything you touch. Can you explain what are you trying to do here ? I'm really curious about it, since  I also tend to do that if it is worthy.

EDIT: by the way be healthy in that, the rabbit hole optimization is very long lol, sometimes is fine to make trade offs, like for example just downloading binaries from others that had being signed, instead of just compiling everything to have the maximum performance available.  There is a reason why the package manager exists tongue

basically it allows me to decrease my boot time:

Startup finished in 5.633s (firmware) + 95ms (loader) + 776ms (kernel) + 147ms (initrd) + 2.501s (userspace) = 9.154s 

the flags are for silencing all output, disabling some time consooming stuf, and pointing it towards my initramfs image

oh and im booting directly from uefi instead of having an intermediary load my kernel

Re: optimized boot

Oh I get it what are you doing now. As far as I know it works and does reduce the speed [also dinit is like 3 seconds, which I know is the faster one lol]

My boot time without it should be like between 12 and 15 seconds, I had never checked it. But I know it does some improvement.

You made me think  back in time, when computers take like 1 minute to boot and you need to press the power button to shutdown lol
