Slow boot on any Arch distro except Garuda dragonized

4xx Client Error 421 Misdirected Request
1

Hello everyone,

this is probably a more unusual call for support on this forum, so I'll come straigt to the point.

I face the following two issues on all Arch distros except Garuda-Dragonized:
Extreme slow boot (20+ sec on Arch, 4-5 sec on Garuda-D) and IO-Wait issues which hang my system regularly. (especially while updating the system itself or doing updates on Steam)

My first assumption was something Kernel related, because Ubuntu, Mint and Debian don't show these issues at all, but e.g. Endevaour with default and with zen Kernel also boots slow, same for Garuda bare bones. (Dragonized uses zen as well, iirc.)

I tested different default installs of Arch distros with different drives:

  • 2 normal SSDs: A Crucial from 2012 and a more recent one from 2018
  • An NVME: A Samsung 950 Pro

but the issue persist on non Garuda ones, even with all non boot drives disconnected from the mainboard.

So my main question right now is: What is so different between Garuda-Dragonized and every other Arch distro? The webpage says something about improved I/O. What exactly is that about?

Last but not least, my system info:
(It's taken from Manjaro, hope you don't mind :slightly_smiling_face: )

It would really nice to get a fix for this uspstream, because it's a majaor annoyance.

Thanks,

It would probably be useful to post one from an install with the issue and one without.

What is extreme slow on 5 sec.?
Use Xfce or sway, KDE needs always more time :smiley:

I write this only because I think that our developers should waste their time with possible problems and not with analyses between distributions.
Especially since it is likely that they do not know all the others. :smiley:

For me.
It is prettier and created with much more love.

Why don’t you ask the others why they are not like Garuda?

If you want to find out secrets, it’s all in the git.

What is the difference between blonde and brunette women?

Well arch real Arch installed the Arch way boots faster here than any arch based distro as it has no bloat.
But at the end of the day does it really matter

No one is going to spend their valuable time trying to shave 15 seconds off the boot time of other distros for you.

IMO, this reads like all the other threads asking how to make Ubuntu (etc) look just like Garuda. I find it doubtful you even have Garuda installed any longer as you couldn’t even provide a garuda-inxi.

What is your problem?

If you are not satisfied with Garuda Linux, use something else.

That's how I did it, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Manjaro, Garuda.

Feel free.

Take what you need, even if it costs you nothing than having to download an ISO for free.

If you really like the way garuda works then why don’t you want to use garuda ? :smiley:

I hope this was not aimed at me, I'm not complaining about boot times. :heartpulse:
I don't have any problems with Garuda to be honest its a excellent distro

Not at all, I fully agree with you. How someone can be upset about a 20 second boot time boggles my mind. I think for punishment in hell these users should have to suffer the boot times we experienced before microwaves, cell phones, and super sonic transport. :rofl:

Yes get back to the 55-60 secs when i started with Linux, I used to start the comp go make a coffee and hopefully it had got to the login screen :boom:
