I’m dualbooting Fedora Kinoite (ublue-nvidia image) with Windows 11 and I have a boot time of over 1 minute (only on the Fedora side).
The output of

Anyway, the
x2dadb07819a7b1UUID belongs to the swap partition.Output of

if you have zram enabled why do you have a swap partion on your ssd at all?
How much ram do you have?
if you have enough RAM, you only really need swap if you want to hybernate. i’m running without swap for >10 years now. the only times regular users hit OOM is when a weird error happens and in that case you want it to be OOM killed quickly instead of your system becoming super slow while it tries to swap gigabytes of what the broken program is allocating.
Just because it’s worked for you doesn’t mean it’s the best option.

I might actually end up disabling swap in the end. I wanted to update that apparently I “fixed” the problem (not sure if permanently) by turning off the pc, unplugging the PSU, and holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Normal reboots weren’t enough. I’ll take it for now.

swapoff, reformat, swapon?
Also make sure the drive isn’t dying.
Could you upload the output of
systemd-analyze plot?Hopefully people with more of a clue than me will chime in… Meanwhile, my best swag is the filesystem had issues and had to do an fsck? If that’s the case it would boot quickly next time assuming a clean shutdown.
Were there any errors during boot?
Fastboot enabled in BIOS or no? (Not sure if this has anything to do with anything I’m just trying to look useful)
PS: the weird active time could maybe somehow be related to the filesystem being borked needing fsck? I’m not sure.
Have you tried installing Linux? That usually fixes all my problems
