Of course :+1:

How much faster does your machine boot? I got rid of those because my boot time was painfully slow.

Now:

sudo systemd-analyze critical-chain                                                                  # Boot Chain Analysis

With Flatpak Firefox I couldn't install any extension, it really can't connect to anything, I had to install Chrome, then after I install Firefox via APT, everything went better
