Hello,

On my system, the boot phase takes only approximately 28 seconds but
both the reboot and shutdown phase take approximately 1 minute and 10
seconds.

This did not happen with F16.

Could someone help me to solve this issue?

Here below are my systemd services:

Thank you very much.

So, am I the only one facing this problem?

Any hint on what should I look for?

Thank you very much.

Best,

My 2 cents:

Why do you need to reboot? What are you doing at power-off that you need

to

hang around and wait for it? If a portable computer, just close it, pack

it

away before the lights go out, and walk away? and is a minute and 38

seconds

really SO important? If this minuscule amount time is so important, you
could retire and get more of your minute and a half.

Hi Richard,

I need to reboot/power-off mainly for 2 reasons:
1. I have a dual-boot system (Linux+Win)
2. The battery of my laptop has low capacity

For what concerns the 1min and 38sec, it's not an infinity but IMHO is
a very long time if I compare it with F16 (that was installed on the
same laptop).

Cheers,

So is it crashing that you are worried about? My main, though unstated,
point was that, at least in my opinion, time for bootup is not a concern in
the Linux world. I think our concern has more to do with making a safe,
secure, unbreakable computing environment. Because of the name - Beefy
Miracle - I don't think we care about the time it takes to boot up as long
as it works. It's just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

I'm not convinced that boot up time is irrelevant. Maybe for some use cases it isn't but for other it is very important that your system boots as quick as possible. Besides, why should I (poor computer user) waste my time waiting while my system is performing internal tasks such as start up and shutdown? In a perfect world there are no such things as boot up/shutdown, you just touch the muse or press a key or open up a lid in your notebook and the system is there ready for you. Wasn't this the reason why computing has evolved in last 40 years?

You are completely free to remove those programs that waste the time that grub calls up.
