[SOLVED] optimize my BIOS so that it takes less time to boot ?

[ismail783]

I am using Asus Prime H370-Plus ATX LGA1151.

My system has been booting slowly so I ran some diagnoses.

% systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 22.344s (firmware) + 4.910s (loader) + 3.251s (kernel) + 1.099s (userspace) = 31.605s

So, the slow boot time is probably due to the UEFI. How can I optimize my bios so that it takes less time to boot?

If you have a device adapter and no device is detected, there will be a time out before the start can proceed. Disable such adapters.

In the bios, there might be a ram check that is started, either by default or by design.

Fast boot will load a file image of windows which takes less time than cold loading individual components.

Best of all, don't boot normally.
Use sleep to ram(no hibernate instead

Does fast boot help if I am using Linux.

No, unless linux does something similar.
