I'm dualbooting Fedora Kinoite (ublue-nvidia image) with Windows 11 and I have a boot time of over 1 minute (only on the Fedora side).

The output of systemd-analyze critical-chain is:

First of all, I would like to know what the hell is going on with that 584542 years active time lol

Anyway, the x2dadb07819a7b1 UUID belongs to the swap partition.

What should I do?

Exactly. That's the same theoretical underpinning I had for my guess.

Thanks for laying it out so concisely.

Yeah, I might actually end up disabling swap in the end. I wanted to update that apparently I “fixed” the problem (not sure if permanently) by turning off the pc, unplugging the PSU, and holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Normal reboots weren’t enough. I’ll take it for now.
