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 experimenting with distros, and I've found that in all the ones I've tested (newer distribution versions only, including ubuntu, pop os and manjaro), I'm having very slow boot time. (Although the experience is not the same when running a live usb boot)
I really like manjaro and would love to permanently move to it.
I've analysed the boot problems myself on using systemd. There are no failed service (I could post here if anyone wants to see), bar
"failed to start load/save screen backlight brightness of acpi_video1" (yes video1 not video0 as I've seen online).
In some distribution such as ubuntu, I've disabled and masked service that took a very long time (using critical-chain), but this only resulted in other process taking as much time.
Based on the above facts, I suspect that the issue is either due to gpu drivers or due to the extension of ram (I don't know very much about any of this so I could be completely wrong).
Can someone please give me an idea of what I might need to do (if at all anything)?
Ps- in Manjaro the boot after mounting is faster than the others, however to go from grubs to mounting takes time, so the things sort of cancle out. And I've also tried free and nonfree drivers, and the system doesn't boot at all on non free drivers.
