In this upgrade from 15.1 -> 15.2, a Ryzen 3 2200G:

~> systemd-analyze blame
         **13.188**s postfix.service
         ** 4.995**s wicked.service
          2.723s display-manager.service
          2.206s plymouth-quit-wait.service
          2.174s systemd-udev-settle.service
          1.301s btrfsmaintenance-refresh.service
          1.236s dracut-initqueue.service
          ....

In my 15.1 box, a Ryzen 5 2600:

5.073s nmb.service
          3.169s dracut-initqueue.service
          3.015s btrfsmaintenance-refresh.service
          1.529s systemd-udev-settle.service
          1.169s display-manager.service
          **1.025**s wicked.service
           602ms vboxdrv.service
           592ms jexec.service
           **545**ms postfix.service
           435ms plymouth-quit-wait.service

I’m curious why the big difference between the services, and if I can disable/uninstall postfix. Both are Plasma desktop, not remotely managed.

Thanks,

Hi
Your only using ipV4, if so go and edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and change (it’s way down the bottom of the file line 706) inet_protocols = all to inet_protocols = ipv4 and all should be good. For wicked, edit the config /etc/sysconfig/network/config and change WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES=“30” to a 1
