Hello krymzkiy,
Welcome to the forums.
Knowing exact system specs would be a good thing.
Open the Terminal an copy and paste this command.
inxi -Fxz
How to open terminal.
Linux Mint Cinnamon:
Menu - Administration - Terminal
Linux Mint MATE:
Menu - Terminal
Linux Mint Xfce:
Menu button - System - Xfce Terminal (Terminal Emulator)
Copy and Paste the output in a post.
Linux Mint any version has always booted slow from my experience although I use 8 year old and 10 year old junk computers with Core 2 Duo processors and 4.0 GB ddr2 ram.

Hello krymzkiy,
Your components appear to be pretty standard components and I see nothing that is any different than in any other PC.
Here is your processor specs.
https://ark.intel.com/products/33099/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T8300-3M-Cache-2_40-GHz-800-MHz-FSB
Here is the graphics and memory controller specs.
https://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller
I believe the long startup time is just a characteristic of Linux Mint and as long as the system runs well without problems in normal use I wouldn't worry about boot time.
Power off and restart your PC and copy and paste this command in the terminal and it should give you your startup time.
systemd-analyze
Post your results.
Here is mine and it isn't fast and I'm using Lubuntu 18.04 LTS.
From your posted specs it appears that you are using Linux Mint 19 Mate.
I would suggest to give this a good look at and understand exactly what the tweaks do prior to applying any of them.

Which kernel are you using ?
Run the following in a terminal
If it says 4.15.0-24 then reboot, after the bios screen/logo press shift to get into GRUB boot menu, select advanced, select a lower version kernel ...or even a higher version if you have any...
Assuming the boot now went fine, open Update Manager > View > Linux Kernels and remove the -24 kernel. Don't install that version again, I am currently running 4.15.0-36

Welcome @krymzkiy to linux.org
I think we may be barking up the wrong tree here - 5-7 mins boot time is unacceptable in my books, but I would like to see what improvement if any is made by the OP (original poster) taking the advice already given.
If there is no improvement I would be looking at start jobs that are running at bootup that may take 1 min 30 secs or more to complete and what we can do between examining /etc/fstab and looking at logs to identify the culprit.
Two questions though, @krymzkiy :

Two questions though, @krymzkiy :
- Is Mint the only OS on your Macbook or are you dualbooting with MacOS? If he is dualbooting he will already have a Grub Menu
- If Mint is the only OS we can show you how to make Grub visible at startup and make that permanent, it is handy to have for troubleshooting purposes.
- Are you a user of an Image Hosting site such as imgur.com, photobucket &c. Then you can take screenshots and post them here.
- I am guessing a young fellow like you knows how to post a video to youtube, is that so?

....and.....just to give you directions re start up jobs.....
click on menu...type in startup applications.......this should show you exactly what is starting at bootup time
You can either give us a list of take a screenshot and paste it here in your next reply.
need help with any of that ?....just tell us which bit.

Well by-golly that's one solution!
5 to 7 minutes is way too long barring a hardware problem.
I was going to mention something I read several years ago regarding IPv6 in the network manager causing long delays during startup. Something about searching for an IPv6 connection which was not available. Solution - disable IPv6 (if memory serves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
It appears Arch got it sorted though.
It might even be a systemd related thing.
I've noticed a lot of gradual slowdowns on startup on my Debian laptop.
Before Debian introduced systemd - it always booted really quickly.
Since systemd was introduced - the boot times have gotten longer and longer.
From analysing and charting the boot process - it seems to be down to several systemd services that are waiting for other services to come up before they can start properly.
But I'm not going to spend hours (or days, or weeks) trying to work out how to make systemd bring the services up in a more sane order.
For now - I'll just put up with the slightly longer boot time!
I've been meaning to take a look at the systemd journal too - to see if there are any error messages in there that might give some clues about what I can do to speed up the boot times.
