Ask Ubuntu Asked by Likhit Daggubati on December 6, 2021
I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04 and it is super fast on my PC. It is not the dual boot. My PC specs are:
CPU: Intel Pentium E5700@3GHz
Graphics: Intel G41(Onboard Graphics)
HDD: 250gb
Ram: 4GB + (4GB Swap)
But the boot times are very slow. It takes about 1 min to boot. At first it was about 30sec but now it is almost 1 minute. I checked boot time with systemd-analyze time
and it gave me these results:
systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 5.929s (kernel) + 51.893s (userspace) = 57.822s
graphical.target reached after 51.826s in userspace
And I did check with systemd-analyze blame
and it showed like this:

Here the critical-chain results also:

So how can I reduce my boot time?

A couple of things to mention:
I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04 and it is super fast on my PC.
Your other computer is most likely equipped with better hardware - in particular, a faster/newer CPU (Pentium E5700 is from 2010) and a faster disk (probably an SSD instead of HDD). SSD will make a huge difference, and we can't expect fast boot times from a 10 year old Pentium as well.
At first it was about 30sec but now it is almost 1 minute.
It's normal for boot times to increase after installation. There were probably some drivers and additional software installed.
Boot time being 1 minute is completely reasonable for your PC running Ubuntu. If you'd like a more lightweight option, check Lubuntu (literaly Lightweight Ubuntu). If you'd like to speed up your computer, buy an SSD. If you want to tweak your Ubuntu to make it boot faster, check the running services in your systemd-analyze blame report and disable the ones you don't need.
Note: plymouth service is the splash screen, and it does not actually take 30sec of your boot time. From what I understand, that's just the time the service is waiting to display splash screen.
