Do not use systemd-analyze blame, because it shows total activated services at startup, but not for boot up to login page. Which login manager do you use? GDM or SDDM?

Run:

$ systemd-analyze plot >> ~/Desktop/boot.svg

Try to upload the file boot.svg and share it with us here.

Your systemd services take a long time. Do you boot from a HDD or SSD?

What is for example the output of:

systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service

Is your system encrypted?

Services you don’t need can be disabled and masked via:

sudo systemctl disable --now <service>
sudo systemctl mask <service>

login manager is - gdm
