Had something similar with ASUS…never again

@[email protected] i found today 3-4 other persons having same or similar issues (one on the bugtracker github of systemd and 3 others on the archlinux forums) starting around the same time (in the last 2-3 weeks).

I dont think its Plasma related (which comes in later on boot I think) but maybe Kernel based - since others started having similar issue around the same time?

Might be related to some usb devices, but if i‘m not alone having it!?

@[email protected] Did exactly that before posting and posted the output:

systemd-analyze critical-chain systemd-journald.service:

systemd-journald.service +7.853s └─systemd-journald.socket @428ms

@[email protected] so I was able to perform the test, and if I restart it manually it is fast (30-34ms), its just while booting where it takes that long

@[email protected] great hint, will try this, thanks!
