How do I reduce boot time

[pebcak]

Can’t promise that choosing another compression algorithm would significantly decrease your boot time.

If you are up for experimenting, have a look at:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkinitcpio#COMPRESSION

If/when you have modified the file, you need to run:

sudo mkinitcpio -P

Also, take a look here:

Which compression algorithm to choose in mkinitcpio.conf?

I wonder if I should use lzop or lz4 instead of the default gzip? # COMPRESSION # Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression # is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image. #COMPRESSION="gzip" #COMPRESSION="bzip2" #COMPRESSION="lzma" #COMPRESSION="xz" #COMPRESSION="lzop" #COMPRESSION="lz4" Which one would you recommend? My system is installed on BTRFS if that would make any difference.
