Also, I don't think it is a Systemd issue, Systemd shows that the boot finishes in under a minute, and although I know this might just be incorrect measurement of the time taken for the boot process, I feel that the issue is not with the os but with going from bios to the os.

Is it an asus motherboard? I think that bios might be a possible culprit too, since reverting to an older version did reduce boot time.

Okay, the errors in the dmesg output are the following; #Unable to read/write to IOMMU perf counter# (which I beleive is benign) And the very next message is; # Can't derive routing for PCI INT A, PCI INT A: not connected. Some more are: #acpi region does not cover the entire command/response...

Also another update: I've fixed the failed to start ....acpi_video1... Also, reverting to bios of 2 years ago has further improved boot time to < 2 minutes.

Okay, thank you very much. For now I can't risk changing anything as I have important work. But I will do it as soon as I'm done with the work.

The distros run smoothly, but the startup is slow.

Asus, and it's an apu, so that might be the problem. I've heard that that manjaro has(or had) issues with ryzen apu. The driver thing is also a bit weird, because as I understand it amd drivers are open source.

It's integrated gpu, ryzen 5 2500u with vega 8 graphics. Update: The last time I updated bios, I did so with a 'windows optimised' version (apparently, this was the default file). So i updated it again, and the boot up time has reduced to about 2 minutes 15 sec.

That didn't really fix anything, on the contrary It gave a bunch of failures. I suspect that what this does is puts a timeout on each service(?). I want to increase the timeout, but I figure that it would not fix the underlying problem.

Hi guys and thanks for your time. I'm using a Ryzen 5 2500u Apu with 12gb ram (extended) and an HDD. Im running it on dual boot and I know my boot time won't be incredible, but 3-5 minutes feels unacceptable, with windows booting within a minute. Ever since the lockdown began I've been...
