Mint uses systemd, so just use it;
systemd-analyze/systemd-analyze blame.You can also visualize it;
This is the second time I hear about systemd-analyze, which is funny because the first time was earlier today in that Brodie Robertson video about that pewdiepie video...
Anyway, I checked it out and the only thing I noticed was that cups took a whole second, which wouldn't matter, except that I hardly have a printer to print with anyway, so I disabled it. (could also just remove cups I guess)
This is so cool. I don't know how yall know all this stuff but thanks for sharing ! My startup is 1 min 21 seconds. I know it should be more like 20 seconds
Considering that from my own experience systemd tends to increment boot times by a factor of about 20x due to insisting about things like raising a wifi interface that won't ever connect because you're later on supposed to plug in the wifi password (no save to store), which is an outright historic systemd problem, I wonder: is
systemd-anamyze blameat least honest enough to recognize the fault is in its own design, or will it always blame it on something else in the system?I couldn't tell you. Personally I avoid systemd. My daily driver is Alpine Linux. lol
Alpine? How does it do? I've heard it's pretty good for containers but at the same time some reasonable complaints for end-user workflows such as "it doesn't even have locales".
It has its quirks. But personally I prioritize performance over just about anything else, so I tried it as a daily driver and I haven't found anything yet which would make me drop it. I especially like it in headless environments. All my VPS run it, and it runs critical infrastructure which I'm responsible for that monitors oil and gas extraction rates--so some pretty critical infrastructure.
Pretty rock solid.
