You can experiment with grub settings on each boot, by using e on grub menu item. You may need to change grub_timeout from 0. It used to be 10, but I have used 3 or just enough time to press escape to get grub menu, but not slow down boot much.
I do not think HP has any UEFI updates for fwupdate to run. You can check here:
Devices using LVFS for firmware updates https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devicelist
I also think fwupdate was another conversion to snap. But you do not have to remove all snaps, its totally up to you what you want.
Logs are in
/var/log
May be large file
cat /var/log/dpkg.log
I did the log command and do you see anything here that might explain why my snaps open up faster?
this sounds like i am complaining but i am not haahaha this is great because i was about to ditch firefox snap for flatpak but now the ff snap matches the flatpak in speed!
So if i understand correctly i can choose what to remove and it is not snapd?
what would i do next in this context? do i go through with removing fwupd ?
i dont really understand what this does exactly? and that message kinda scares me ahhaha
Great thank you for the very quick reply
so whether or not i remove all or just the 1 word there is no difference in performance ?
I mean do i get better performance if i do remove both the words in stead of just the 1?
Edit: i just removed the word splash and then opened another terminal window tried to use the command sudo update grub but i get message saying command not found?
thank you and yes i do have a ssd, I am going to restart my computer here we go.
Edit: so i wanted to check before i restarted and noticed that the word splash is back again ? so i removed it again open new window update grub then i look again and i see the word is still there ???
I found an external SSD worked almost as fast as when it was the internal SSD. I upgraded to a larger internal NVME SSD and put old SSD into an USB to M.2 adapter. And it allowed me to boot an very old 2006 laptop with otherwise very limited capability and make it functional. Its still just a backup system but then usable in an emergency.
Please share that warning you see with us, so we can guess better…LOL
Mine would look like:
apt -s purge fwupd
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
