Booting too slow Zorin lite 15.3 and won't shutt down

Snap can slow boot time down. If you are not using any snap packages, you can remove it. (Removing Snap is the first thing I do)
Check if using any snaps:

snap list

If you do not recognize anything as something you installed then it is safe to remove:

sudo apt remove --purge snapd

You might also:

systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service

That service is for Ubuntu Server. It's probably not something you need unless you are running a Server...

Shut Down of Computer:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system.conf

Change #DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s to DefaultTimeoutStopSec=4s being sure to remove the hashtag.
Ctrl+x to exit, then y to say yes to save then enter key to save.
