my windows install used to boot in 20 seconds - from power button press to desktop. my manjaro install takes over twice as much at about 45 seconds. what are the typical ways to reduce boot times on linux? where should i start?

Also worth mentioning that Windows technically cheats. When you shut down modern Windows (starting with 8 AFAIK), it doesn’t truly shut down, it logs you out to the login screen and then hibernates. So when you boot back up, it can quickly restore state which makes it come up much faster as it doesn’t have to start everything back up from scratch.
45 seconds is a bit on the long end for Linux though, both my desktop and netbook boot in around 10-15 seconds.
i am indeed aware of “fast startup”. that and hibernation are one of the first things i disable on every windows install.
after removing plymouth, i managed to reduce the boot time to my desired 20 seconds. seems fine for a desktop. cheers!
