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.

I'm dualbooting Fedora Kinoite (ublue-nvidia image) with Windows 11 and I have a boot time of over 1 minute (only on the Fedora side).

The output of systemd-analyze critical-chain is:

First of all, I would like to know what the hell is going on with that 584542 years active time lol

Anyway, the x2dadb07819a7b1 UUID belongs to the swap partition.

It’s an odd situation anyway since Fedora has used zram swap for a while.
