What happens between hitting enter on the password on the login screen and starting up the full KDE Desktop? For me, it’s taking about 1 min 15 sec and I think it was much faster before.
The major change in my system is an NVIDIA T600. It’s running the latest available driver, 515.57, installed the “hard way”.
Is there a log to look at that will give some insight on what’s starting up?
It looks like Sound Service and Portal Service take up the most time toward the end of login. How can that be sped up? Portal Service seems to be started several times too! Redundant?
% journalctl -b --user -g started
