Dear Christian,
I might be able to offer some help with some items.
1)
A felt 25sec still seems long.
I once had a similar problem. It was related to the system trying to
load/look for assistive technologies.
It improved after I explicitly uninstalled them.
Try to have look at your text messages at boot up and see where it
spends its time ob.
Also run in a terminal:
$ systemd-analyze blame
list boot processes sorted descending by time, but only after kernel loaded
$ systemd-analyze plot > graph.svg
produces an svg which also shows you how much time is spent by firmware,
bootloader, Linux kernel and then all the services.
pre-kernel background is white, Linux kernel = grey, serice running =
light red with initialisation duration of that service in red
6)
On one of my systems - Tuxedo BC1510 - I am running Xubuntu 18.04 as my
default OS (Tuxedo Systems' ships Budgie - not my cup of tea).
Xubuntu 18.04:
When my screen blanked I could not wake it up again. Just staid dark.
Suspending the system through menu or by closing the screen also
produced the dark screen problem.
Keyboard, touchpad, mouse, I pressed and swished on anything I could
find/think of, nothing helped.
Eventually I discouvered I could log in again on the dark screen. I just
had to wait long enough.
The system was still responding but the screen never showed me the login
screen because the screen is dark.
- waking up a dark screen does not work
- locking and unlocking DOES work - even on a dark screen
So this is my workaround:
A) Screen just went dark, but I want to continue working right away:
Lock (ctrl+alt+L) - unlock (ctrl+alt+L) - enter password - Enter
B) Change Power Manager Settings
Tab Display
Blank after: x minutes (e.g. 10 minutes)
Put to sleep after: x+1 minutes (e.g. 11 minutes - the closest I can
get after the blank time).
Somehow this also fixed my suspend issues.
So my recommendation is:
Try fiddling around with the Power Manager Settings.
3)
The easiest way to adjust system fonts:
Note: Affects all system apps / menus / Thunar file mangager / TASKBAR
/ ...
Whisker menu (ctrl+esc) -> type ap for appearance, Enter -> tab FONTS
do any of those:
click on font name / font size to change it
change DPI setting at the bottom
5)
The recent Linux-Welt 2020/2 has a topic somewhere in the back informing
on how to teach Linux screen resolutions it couldn't / didn't recognize
automatically.
Don't have it handy. Not my copy.
Success!

Hello, everybody,
I am new to Linux, so I am also new to Xubuntu. I am slowly finding my
way around, but there are still some things that I still can't get
adjusted correctly.
Notebook ThinkPad T480s, Xubuntu 19.10

1. boot time: here it is currently 25 seconds till my user/password
screen. It was 45 seconds before that. Only by activating the Nvidia
drivers I got the 25 seconds (unencrypted). Are such boot times normal?

2. The hotkey "Super" + "D" does not work for me correctly. Why? Just
click on the "Super" button. The "D" key is not needed, although I have
set it up that way. If I set it again with "Super + D" it works. After a
restart "D" drops out again and the "Super" button is enough.
3. how do I get the font in my taskbar bigger?
4. can I close individual tabs with an "x"? Currently I have to
right-click on each tab in the taskbar, then click on close.
5. how do I adjust my resolution or scale correctly? My laptop is
capable of 2560x1440, but then everything becomes unreadably small. If I
set the resolution to 1920x1080, some fonts become quite pixelated.
6. when I close my laptop, I cannot access my desktop anymore. I set it
to standby, but my display remains black. I have to restart
7.after a certain time my touchpad (ELAN) fails. In other words, the
mouse pointer stops. Also the keys don't react anymore. My wireless
mouse continues to work, as does my keyboard.

thanks, sorry for various spelling mistakes. Greetings from Germany :)
