I’ve probably never had such a fast boot up time on this old laptop. I was using voidlinux for 4 years and then alpine linux for a 2 months and I thought boot up time is quite good but for some unknown reason (to me) Garuda is even faster… It could only be 3 or 4 secs faster, but still
Share an output of systemd-analyze
, and your PC specs. I’m curious.
Here’s mine:
Startup finished in 3.316s (kernel) + 786ms (initrd) + 3.207s (userspace) = 7.311s
graphical.target reached after 2.314s in userspace.
I bought this laptop in 2014 (or 2015):

Yep, even I assume Hyprland will take only 5s startup time on mine because it’s so light…
Will try that in future and post (got a reason to go back lol)

I have changed from hdd to ssd, so I guess I have tweaked a system
. I’m surprised myself about boot speed, however, this is a fresh install and I have only installed extra Garuda wallpapers so, there is no extra read-time I assume. Using sway-wm also helps I assume. You are using ssd as well, right?

firmware has password at boot so it takes a few extra seconds.
Edit:
this is without the bios PW at boot:
