These 31 -no less!- loop devices add up to a full three minutes to the booting process, according to systemd-analyze. I know neither what causes them nor know what to do. Please help. Neofetch says: bash 5.1.16 Xfce 4.18 Intel i5-8400 16Gb RAM

Please update your kernel. If you don’t schedule system maintenance, the system will schedule it for you.

Kernel 5.13.19-2-MANJARO slow boot because of too many loop devices
