Speed-up Fedora Boot Time

Run the below commands to see what takes the longest at boot.

sudo systemd-analyze
sudo systemd-analyze blame

This will return results that look like the below.

19.252s unbound-anchor.service
 9.581s NetworkManager-wait-online.service
 7.122s dracut-initqueue.service
 6.950s systemd-cryptsetup@luks\x2d6201f753\x2d2cbe\x2d4c1f\x2da7df\x2d0c672e432f0e.service
 4.371s plymouth-quit-wait.service
 1.081s lvm2-monitor.service

You can then disable long running services which aren’t needed.

sudo systemctl disable --now unbound-anchor.timer
sudo systemctl disable --now NetworkManager-wait-online.service

About

I'm a technology professional who's been passionate about computers since my Grandad introduced me to an Intel 386 back in the 90s when I was a kid. Those moments inspired a passion within for technology, and I've been playing around with anything with a circuit board ever since. Whenever I have a moment you can probably find me working on something computer-related, and this is where I like to write about those moments.
