Is that good?. Tell me how to fix this if the answer is no.
No one will be able to tell you. if you don’t provide us with some info.
To explain:
- You don’t say to which stage you’re referring to: full desktop or login prompt.
- a clean install on my laptop. on SSD, boots in about 23 secs to full desktop with autologin. Using systemd on the same clean install it takes about 20 secs
- after extending it with all the things I need, autologin disabled the 20 secs are needed to get to the login screen
If this is on an average machine, from GRUB to login screen, I wouldn’t bother. No doubt that 12.1 -when it’s released- will be faster.

I wouldn’t care, but if you want to know precisely what takes the most time, you can use bootchart: How to speed up ur system - Page 2.

LXDE is really fast to boot into. KDE takes longer… but 30 seconds…
if its KDE you may have a new system?

Assuming it’s a full boot - from GRUB menu to the KDE chords, and presumably autologin - it’s not just good but supersonic. I get about 40 seconds with an SSD boot drive…
I’m past the 2 minute mark so I would call that very good.
Normally, booting openSUSE in or under 30 seconds, require the use of a SSD hard drive for your boot drive. My main computer has a 120 GB SSD and indeed it boots in 25 seconds. Without using an SSD, not sure how you could get openSUSE to startup in 30 seconds flat, but we would want to know the optimizations to do so as well as when does the clock timer start timing the boot? My testing was made from the first BIOS message, till the desktop was shown and music playing. I was using the grubonce command, that allows you to boot directly into a grub selection and auto logging into a desktop, to eliminate any user intervention. Without using an SSD hard drive, I was never close to 30 seconds on openSUSE startup.
Thank You,
Two minutes??? Getting close to my experience with Windows Vista, which eventually got to near-enough four minutes…
I have 11.4 on an SSD and it takes from Grub into KDE with auto login exactly 16sec, Win 7 takes 18 sec, this is on up to date hardware (i5-2500,P67,16GB ram) On a regular hdd 11.4 took about 60sec, which was on 6 year old hardware (PIV 3 Ghz, 2GB ram) , so not too bad either.
wait 10 years, buy a brand new computer, then install 11.4, it will probably boot almost instantly. otherwise forget suse, it is not quick, but it works.
