Does dual boot affect booting time?

  • 772

My computer has both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04, the latter of which I installed later. I wonder if completely deleting Windows could improve Linux booting time (about 1 min at the moment).

Below, the output of systemd-analyze blame, which I don't quite understand, although I know that dev/sda6 is where Linux is mounted on.

 25.369s dev-sda6.device
 17.412s systemd-udevd.service
 12.970s plymouth-quit-wait.service
  7.207s NetworkManager-wait-online.service
  4.482s fwupd.service
  3.484s systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service
  3.438s plymouth-start.service
  2.950s snapd.service
  2.681s apt-daily.service
  2.307s apparmor.service
  2.173s systemd-modules-load.service
  2.166s plymouth-read-write.service
  2.118s keyboard-setup.service
  1.945s NetworkManager.service
  1.739s accounts-daemon.service
  1.604s systemd-journald.service
  1.337s ModemManager.service
  1.281s sys-kernel-debug.mount
  1.252s dev-hugepages.mount
  1.251s dev-mqueue.mount
  1.230s avahi-daemon.service
  1.180s irqbalance.service

Thanks in advance.

    Should not have any impact on boot time in itself. The only thing that could alter this is if you change the time that the boot menu shows for or prevent the boot menu showing at all.

    I think your hard drive is relatively slow.
