Greetings, all.
I have been a contributor to an Open Source project over a number of years.
A lot of the devs seems to use Debian testing which means I often find I
have to deal with (often minor, fortunately) dependency hell to be able to
recompile the program when I haven't done so in a while.
I was trying out a Debian based version of Armbian and was impressed by how
easy it was to get it up and running. I've been thinking of switching to
Debian from Linux Mint. I decided to have another look at the Debian 12
install I have on one of the root partitions I have for other OSs. I was
*not* impressed.
It took about 7 minutes to from boot to login page. It takes so long that
the system that provides the splash screen during boot gave up and it
changed to a black screen during the last part of the boot process. After I
enter my name and password it took about another 7 minutes to get to the
desktop. Under Linux mint boot to desktop takes about 3 minutes.
Any clues as to why Debian takes 4 to 5 times as long? I'm hoping there is
some bad configuration out of the box causing Debian 12 to be acting so
slow. Anyone have any ideas where I should start looking? If I can't get to
the bottom of the problem I will be staying with Linux Mint. Perhaps LMDE
might be worth a try instead of pure Debian.
