Hi, I am using Zorin 16 now.. But it is taking almost a minute to boot up,
My device Specs
Dual Booted with windows
Windows is in NVME, Zorin is in HDD
Ryzen 5 5600X
Nvidia RTX 2060 Super
Gskill RipJaws V 8x2GB 3200Mhz
I faced the same issue with zorin 15.3 I ran systemd-analyze blame and got this result
I have vscode as well, just not as a Snap. By not running snapd service, you can shave more time off.
And looking at that snapd service above, it's quite a bit of time.
All I can do is redirect this question to the above posts. The analyse-blame and its results.
You said it yourself... Zorin is on HDD. HDDs are significantly slower compared to SSDs. The best thing to do is to move Zorin to your SSD and you will see that your boot-time will get reduced to 20 or less seconds.
I understand your point of view, but, the boot-time that you are experiencing is very standard for an HDD. I even suggest you to look up results of other people with various operating systems on HDDs and you will see that you have very comparable booting time.
I suggest you to shrink the partition that you have windows on and install Zorin on your NVME. It makes the OS faster as a whole... not only during the boot.
This is also what I have done. I have a 256gb NVME and I've allocated 60gb for Linux (More than enough) and the rest is for windows. Then I store backups and heavy sized applications on my HDD.
Hey, I've installed Zorin on my SSD now the boot is extremely fast now.. 3.5 seconds.. But after the login screen i.e after I enter the password.. It stays in a black screen for some 20 seconds.. Is it normal or is there any issues?
