Hey Guys,
I am trying to improve / optimize my boot time and needed some help analyzing the systemd-analyze blame results. Just for some background, I have a 2016 Dell XPS 13 (9350) with an i5 Skylake Processor and 8GB of ram. The output is below:
Startup finished in 7.779s (firmware) + 1.777s (loader) + 1.049s (kernel) + 10.193s (userspace) = 20.799s
graphical.target reached after 9.679s in userspace
