- andrewchambers 11y agoI previously worked for a company which sold a router and we could have used the advice of someone like this. (Our boot was 10-20 seconds at least.) I also wonder if I could get my desktop linux down to those times.
- voltagex_ 11y agoIf I boot a recent Ubuntu from EFISTUB or from a loader like rEFInd, I can get the boot time down to ~6 seconds on a desktop with a reasonable SSD. GRUB can be surprisingly slow at times. See also https://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ https://lwn.net/Articles/299483/, but it's out of date.

- ausjke 11y agoI thought SystemD fixed this issue already, among its other 100+ nice take-over-the-world things. Recently I had to take on systemd on debian8, man it's complicated, should we still call it an 'init' component in the linux ecosystem, assume it cares?
