I see a big difference when I start with the CachyOs Bore kernel
Yep I have tried it.
I am currently trying Cachyos kernel (BORE+EEVDF) but it has increased my boot timeβ¦
Wil revert to bore only maybe.
Be happy with whatever you have ![]()

Oh wow
In a way this is impressive as well hehe ![]()

In the past, you could go for a smoke in peace and quiet so as not to watch the booting process in vain.
Today Iβm glad I donβt smoke any more, because otherwise Iβd miss the chance to decide which Garuda DE I want to start today. Multi-boot also saves you the USB stick ![]()

I remember in the 90s, a computer had trouble booting off the HDD. Took a good timed hit to the computer case to get the HDD spinning right. Probably added a good chunk of time to the boot process
. Gave the HDD a little more life until the platter of the drive phsyically cracked from the head. Now that is a head crash!
Actually I canβt buy new laptop just in the name of slow booting time ![]()
BTW,I have got the solution of the problem ![]()

Oh , and if you are really looking JUST for boot up time speed , try nonSystemD but it will bit tricky to live with it (you have to compile every thing) .

BTW, if you use plymouth then remove it , you will get a little bit more faster ![]()
Donβt worry I donβt have plymouth. ![]()
Maybe because I have always lived with old, slow systems ![]()
And then, all I got to do is read PDFs and watch YT!
Story Time
This laptop had Windows 10 in it with a good amount of malvare. Now imagine this, my mom used this as a work PC earlier and her work includes VMware! To this day, I donβt know how she managed to not complain when with WIn 10 I couldnβt even watch a YT video peacefullyβ¦ I gues Linus (Tech Tips) said it right, normal (non tech-savvy) people just donβt care unless they have Software issues.
Meanwhile I had a GREAT laptop (AMD Ryzen 3, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, TPM 2.0) but I exchanged it with mom because I was afraid installing Linux on that machine
This laptop, I call it EXPERIMENT SPECIMEN!
