--- Comment #4 from Rafael C. <rc.cavalca...@gmail.com> --- Thanks for the points, Christoph. Actually, I did some more tests in the last weeks and I'll try to comment on them and answer your points. Every metric here was taken right after a cold boot. 1) Indeed, I realized that the second login for a new user is much faster than the first one. In my case, it drops to something near to 11 seconds. 2) Disabling the splash screen didn't help with the startup time, but allowed me to see that the last part of the desktop to show up, in my case, is the panel. So, oddly, I found out that simply removing it and adding it again improves the time, even for a clean user. For my main user, this procedure cut the initialization time for about the half (from ~33s to ~17s), even after redoing all the previous customizations to the panel. Right now, I have replaced it with Latte Dock (also heavily customized) and I still boot from SDDM to my main user in about 17s. For a brand new user, after this odd workaround, a second login takes about 9 seconds (instead of the 11s mentioned before). 3) These times are more acceptable, and I wonder if they are expected regarding the current architecture of Plasma. However, they are still very high compared, for example, to GNOME on the same machine. GNOME takes me 3 seconds from GDM to a fully functional desktop. I won't, of course, mention lighter alternatives such as Xfce or i3. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
