these issues, BUT I don not want to go to it, as it will be easier to go to

Systemd can be your friend :)
Try this command to find out where the time goes whilst booting:-
systemd-analyze blame

And if that isn't sufficient, from my notes (be very careful with this!)...
As a matter of course, I always configure systems to show boot sequence
information.
Using sudo to launch a text editor to edit the file /etc/default/grub
It would be a good idea to backup the file.
Go to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"
Remove the words splash and quiet from that line.
Save the file
Run sudo update-grub

HTH,


Ian
