So as the title says, Im new in this Linux world (just downloaded manjaro which is my first ever Linux distro about 2 days ago) I did it because my Laptop is getting outdated to use Windows efficiently and even using Manjaro i think its a little bit slow, Im using the gnome environment and this is my blame analysis:
26.878s plymouth-quit-wait.service
7.453s systemd-journal-flush.service
6.775s snapd.service
4.371s lvm2-monitor.service
4.129s dev-sda2.device
4.100s polkit.service
3.402s tlp.service
3.030s udisks2.service
2.116s apparmor.service
2.106s NetworkManager.service
2.087s bluetooth.service
1.791s systemd-logind.service
1.543s user@1000.service
1.521s snapd.apparmor.service
1.375s upower.service
1.219s ModemManager.service
1.206s systemd-vconsole-setup.service
1.193s accounts-daemon.service
980ms systemd-fsck@dev-disk-by\x2duuid-C8DF\x2d3B81.service
869ms systemd-udevd.service
857ms systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service
725ms systemd-random-seed.service
669ms gdm.service
Which of them can I safely dissable and how? I’m new to everything including the terminal haha
what are the specs of the laptop?
most go for xfce for a lighter install.
you shouldn’t disable anything; it’s not going to improve anything on gnome.
you can go into tweaks and disable the animations, that’ll give you the illusion of being faster.
cpu specs are more than enough to run gnome.
how much ram memory?
most services work behind the scenes & are useful, disabling a needed service can actually slow things down.
26.878s plymouth-quit-wait.service = don’t know why it took so long but should improve after several boot’s, it’s a needed service.
7.453s systemd-journal-flush.service = this is a system log
6.775s snapd.service =some parts of your system are snaps.
ect…
firefox is always slow at first launch, it’s not a specs thing.
extensions can slow gnome down.
Plymouth is affecting the boot process - that’s what you call “kernel stuff”. Every Linux OS can work perfectly fine without it. No, you don’t find it on every distro.
Well, on a fresh install there’s not much harm done (unless you don’t keep backups of important data - which should be common sense ). It does seem to significantly slow down the boot process here.
