Long booting time

Question

Hello I am a Linux newbie, I installed Kubuntu today and now my laptop's boot take something like 10s, when using windows 11 it took 1,5s. Can I fix this problem somehow?

Also what is worth mention I think that my computer is booting like 2 times? The msi logo appear 2-3 times before showing kubuntu interface.

Answer 1

10 seconds for a real boot time is good. I can't see it is a "problem". If you turn your laptop off and on frequently, you can use suspend instead of shut down. If you don't do it often, 10s wait is not really long.

My system boots in 12s, and I don't consider it "slow".

Windows doesn't really boot in 1.5s. It is using Fast Boot that is hibernation. If you restart Windows, you'll see that it boots much slower than Ubuntu.

You can also enable hibernation, or hybrid-sleep in Ubuntu. But on some hardware it may not properly work. That's why it is disabled by default.

Also it is OK that a vendor logo appears a few times.
