Well I have boot times of 20-30s on SSD. Now I’m not complaining, but can it get faster? Or I’m being greedy? I just want to rival the fast boot times of my friend’s Mac.

Sorry if this is a noob or unnecessary question. I know questions of similar kind exist, but they’re usually complaining about slow bootup times, I’m more concerned about optimization.
Lastly, thanks to the makers and maintainers of Manjaro!
