I think that would be the better fix: add the splash screen thing (I forgot the name) to ‘%desktop-services’, but keep functional TTYs. > Because of long boot times (15 s is ALSO too long) I almost never reboot Heh same here. We should do some profiling with “bootchart” I think it’s called. I’m sure systemd does a better job that the Shepherd, in particular by starting more things on demand and doing others in parallel. We’ll get there. > I've tried booting Guix now and I took note of the following points in time: > > t = 0 s: I press the power button > t = 8 s: Grub asks for my system password > t = 45 s: Console login prompt appears > t = 55 s: GDM login prompt appears That’s roughly what I get on my laptop. (Note: Guix cannot be blamed for what happens until the kernel has booted. :-)) Ludo’.
