Bug ID: 433048
Summary: KDE initial startup takes 30-50 seconds when
autostarting apps (with and without KSplash)
Product: ksplash
Version: 5.20.90
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
KDE initial startup takes 30-50 seconds when autostarting apps like Steam,
Discord, KMail and GWE (with and without KSplash)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start your computer
2. Enter user password in Display Manager and log-in to a Plasma session (X11
or Wayland)
3. Sit and watch your beautiful splash screen (disabling Splash screen doesnt
make difference) load for 30 - 50 seconds or even more when Plasma gets
updated.
OBSERVED RESULT
Whenever I boot into my Plasma Desktop, the splash screen just sits on my
screen loading for 30-50 seconds. Disabling Splash Screen from settings doesnt
make difference. Even though the Wallpaper loads quickly the plasmoids and
panels still take same amount of time to load.
I autostart Steam (with "-silent" argument), Discord (with "--start-minimized"
argument), KMail with start minimized to systray option and GreenWithEnvy
minimized. When I remove steam and Discord from autostart list, I get palsma to
load under 30 seconds (around 15-25 seconds) but its still a huge amount of
time to wait.
GNOME for example loads the GNOME Shell first within 5-7 seconds and then
autostarts the apps. Can we get the same functionality with Plasma?
EXPECTED RESULT
Load Plasma shell within 5-7 seconds like GNOME does (for me atleast) and then
autostart apps. Autostart apps should not make a difference in Plasma load
time.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Arch Linux / Linux-Zen 5.10.16
KDE Plasma Version: KDE Plasma 5.20.90 => I had this happen ever since I
started using Plasma (since 5.18)
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have also attached the systemd-bootchart (though it shows only 20 seconds)
svg output. Systemd Bootchart was compiled from David Edmundson's repo.
