Hello.
I haven’t used my Manjaro for half a year, decided to come back and did ‘pamac update’. After the update, the startup of the system freezes for two minutes trying to start systemd-journald service, but then it seem to try again and succeeds. I wish to get rid of that 2 minute delay. I have tried deleting /var/log/journal and reinitializing it, but that didn’t help.

Manjaro is a rolling-release distribution which requires constant attention; frequent updates. When this doesn’t occur for an extended period, package versions on your machine become too far removed from those of current updates.
While it’s possible to carefully update, correcting each and every issue of the last half year, it’s not recommended.
The fastest approach is to perform a full reinstall using the latest Manjaro Installer ISO. I’ll also take the opportunity to suggest Ventoy as the bootable USB solution of choice.
Regards.
Welcome to the Manjaro community
As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:
Update Announcements
The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.
System Information
While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, but for Support purposes more in depth information is usually needed;
It’s best to ask your system directly.
Output of the inxi command with appropriate parameters will achieve this (naturally, formatted according to forum guidelines) and will generally be more useful for those wishing to help:
Be prepared to provide output from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.
