From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Extremely slow boot time (lemmy.ml)

Is this the right place to ask for help? Or is there another place? Anyways, feel free to delete this post if i'm in the wrong spot.

I use Pop OS on an Asus. Something has happened where i either have a 10 min plus boot time, or it doesn't boot at all. I have reinstalled Pop OS twice (and used recovery mode) and even took it into a computer shop to see if there was something wrong with my hardware (there isn't). When I first do a new install it will restart fine, but then it'll be the next day when it will either take over 8 minutes to load, or it will be stuck on boot.

Right now it is stuck on boot. I can get into a live usb stick just fine. I have done systemanalyze blame, and it didn't give me any helpful information. I have the same issue even if I try to press space bar and boot into an old kernel.

I should note that my computer has encryption enabled.

Any help would be awesome.

All hail the other linux noobs out there!

Based on your systemd output, it looks like the system is taking a long while to decrypt your drive. Is it a spinning disk, or an SSD?

I'm not sure if the PC repair shop specifically checked your drive, but it might be worth swapping out for another. Or maybe run some speed tests and/or diagnostics to see if there's something funky going on.

You could also try an unencrypted install to see if the problem persists.

Yeah this sounds like a disk/ssd hardware problem to me. Possibly only one part of the disk is bad and giving inconsistent results.
