I have installed a fresh vanilla Kubuntu 22.04.1 and after a few days it has suddenly become very slow.
The result of systemd-analyze critical-chain is as follows:
The time when unit became active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit took to start is printed after the "+" character.

The OS has suddenly become very slow. It was not slow at all the last time I used it, and it boot like a charm. I use an SSD drive.

EDIT2: I have attached a screenshot of the boot screen, apparently containerd, docker engine and snapd are failing in the boot screen for whatever reason.
EDIT3: So after completely removing docker and containerd from my system, the issue still persists.
