I recently took the plunge and shrunk my laptop ssd drive to accommodate Mint. Actually I am a long time Mint user, but was a bit nervous dealing with the new UEFI format. Anyways it all went well. Also my ageing PC crashed and I built a new one with a B360 HD3 MB and an i5-8400 CPU with 16GB RAM.
I have a question. The laptop boots in 12 seconds. The PC is about 30 seconds and still multiple times faster than Windows 10. This is not a complaint, but I'm curious as to why my laptop boots Mint a couple of times faster than my PC. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15-5578.

Re: Boot times
The laptop has an SSD. Does the PC have an SSD or hard disk?
If the PC has a hard disk, then the laptop will boot quicker because is has an SSD, which is usually faster than a hard disk.

Re: Boot times
this will tell you errors in boot (some can be fixed some issues like nvidia driver loading is up to nvidia devs.
this will tell you how everything is loaded (not available in 17.3)
the more hardware you have installed the longer the boot will be. i have 5 spinning drives and settled for slow boot a while back but around 30-45 seconds is fine for me. sometimes when things are updating 1 minute is also fine

Re: Boot times
Yikes this doesn't look too good; I must have done something wrong.

Re: Boot times
@AllanPen
reboot a few times and check again
reboot a few times and check again
dmesg | grep -i "error\|warn\|fail"
some errors may be gone . ACPI errors are common but not so many. updating kernel can remove some but also new errors appear.Re: Boot times
Did three reboots with the same results. Upgraded kernel to v4.14.15; same results:
