What are your tips for faster boots? My system seems to hang a bit at POST until it boots into Mint. Right after post I’ll get a blinking cursor for about a full minute until it boots in. All ssd, so I know it’s something I must have done wrong. It’s also a 14 year old processor (amd fx be 8 core, rx580), but win### booted faster on it.
Check your BIOS boot settings. AMD FX series should support EFI boot so if you haven’t already switch to EFI and disable legacy/CSM support. And if you haven’t already turn of PXE boot unless you use it. Sounds like some device has a boot up “bios” device that’s hanging the boot process/PXE boot is trying to do it’s autoconfigure.
