Boot Times and the speed therein

Hello everyone, after many a Distro Hopping I have settled on Manjaro XFCE as my main OS to replace Windows. The main dependancies of me choosing a Distro have been met.

 

So I decided to do a test, I have a fully loaded Manjaro install, a previous Windows 8.1 only install and now in linux a Virtual Machine install of Windows 7 Home Premium.

 

All installs are 64 bit

 

*Fresh install of Windows 8.1. - 27.60 seconds from post to desktop.

*Established install of Manjaro. - 14.19 seconds from post to desktop

*Semi established install of Windows 7 in Virtual Machine Manager - 18.24 seconds from post to desktop


Windows 7 was installed in the Virtual Machine as Windows 8.1 locked at the splash screen, all installs were done on the same 120 GB SSD drive.

do systemd-analyze see what it says there, I get around 4-6 seconds depending on what I disable, on a laptop with ssd I normally disable Modem Manager and other crap that I dont need, I also enable read ahead so after a few boots it speeds up.

Cheers mate will do.

And here are the results:

I think I may have an issue with my bios
