Think it's a driver issue. Looked in journalctl and there's some errors indicated. One is a video issue, another is some sort of permissions issue for user who isn't me. The permissions issue is with tracker-miner, which I find to be highly annoying. Not quite sure how to disable it cleanly with low system impact.
Last fsck was 3 months ago. Next one is due in 3 months. So it wasn't an overdue fsck... So I'm not so sure it's disk related at all. Have contacted system76 and sent them logs. If I recall correctly, the issue seems to be closely related to a driver change (issued by system76). Of course, they are still on break... Nonetheless, waiting 8-10 minutes for boot is awful. I don't even think my first IBM PC was that slow, even with a boot from floppy disk.
